Suppose a tractor is harvesting a field of grain, but the field contains, lets say, 1 plastic bottle. What will happen to the plastic bottle? Will it get shredded and contaminate the grain?

Food plants have machines where they launch products across an air gap and cameras look for anomalies and use perpendicular air jets to blow foreign material to a reject bin. Plastic would be the wrong color so it would be rejected. If it flies differently it would be rejected as well.

They have metal detectors too
