The Fibersort revolutionises sorting activities within the industry, as it allows to sort large quantities of clothing and textiles by fibre composition at an unprecedented speed. The theoretical estimation expects that with automated feeding in place, a piece of textile could be sorted every second. Sorting by fibre composition through the updated NIR technology scanners will result in reliable outputs which are consistent input for textile-to-textile recyclers. The additional features of colour sorting and the detection of woven vs. knitted textiles to be integrated in the Fibersort in the coming months can only enhance the potential the technology has to support a new circular textiles industry.
