That sounds like bollox. The machines don't separate cans by visual
inspection. Magnets are used for steel cans and eddy current machines
separate aluminium.

Consider what happens when your recycled waste is collected from the
curb side. It usually goes into a garbage collection vehicle which
compacts all the waste with a large hydrolytic ram.
