Answer 1

For the systems with automatic tray feed/return there is an option of a UV sterilisation unit
It’s usually on the outfeed end of the system on the bottom of the tray feed (return section)

Having additives in the trays would be difficult, as any substance that has an atomic value over the trays plastic material would cause problems for the systems detection algorithm

The trays are tested specifically to work with local civil aviation certification TSA, ECA etc
