The problem of segregating recyclable waste is fairly daunting for many countries. This article presents an approach for image based classification of plastic waste using one-shot learning techniques. The proposed approach exploits discriminative features generated via the siamese and triplet loss convolutional neural networks to help differentiate between 5 types of plastic waste based on their resin codes. The approach achieves an accuracy of 99.74 on the WaDaBa Database
