Product description
Refiberd’s Textile Sorting Technology is a cutting-edge solution designed to revolutionize the recycling of post-consumer textiles in the fashion industry. By leveraging proprietary artificial intelligence, spectroscopy, and robotics, Refiberd has developed a sophisticated system that can accurately identify and sort used textiles based on their fiber composition and color.
This innovative technology addresses a significant challenge faced by traditional recycling systems, which struggle to effectively process mixed-fiber textiles and garments with labels, dyes, or fasteners. As a result, a large amount of textile waste ends up in landfills, contributing to environmental degradation and resource depletion.
Refiberd’s Textile Sorting Technology overcomes these limitations by scanning garments at high speed, analyzing their material content, and sorting them into specific categories suitable for high-quality recycling processes. By doing so, the system significantly increases the recyclability of post-consumer textile waste and supports the development of a circular supply chain within the fashion industry.
With a strong emphasis on accuracy, speed, and scalability, Refiberd’s technology enables recyclers to recover valuable fibers from clothing and other textiles that would otherwise be downcycled or discarded. By facilitating the efficient sorting and recycling of textiles, this solution plays a crucial role in closing the loop in the fashion industry and reducing its overall environmental impact.
