Do you think an electromagnet can be used for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap?

★ No, I think an electromagnet can't be used for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap.

This is because electromagnet can only seperate magnetic material like iron, cobalt, nickel and many magnetic products from the garbage.

Plastic bags are non-magnetic material, thus it can't be seperated by an electromagnet.

Electromagnet has the property to only attract magnetic material. ★
