Why automate textile recycling

The textile industry generates huge volumes of waste, from post-consumer garments collected separately to textiles mixed within municipal solid waste streams. Sorting this material manually by fiber type and color is slow, costly and inconsistent — yet it is essential to produce the high-purity fractions that textile-to-textile recycling requires.

PICVISA's ECOSORT TEXTIL uses near-infrared (NIR) and deep learning technology to automatically identify and separate textiles by composition and color, enabling recyclers to recover clean, well-classified fractions ready for reuse, fiber regeneration or other recycling processes.
