Recycling textile waste is a growing challenge in a world that is becoming increasingly aware of sustainability. Traditional sorting methods struggle to accurately separate different textile types. This leads to contamination and lower quality of recycled materials.

Hyperspectral imaging offers the solution. By analyzing the full spectrum of light reflected by the material, we can distinguish even the most subtle differences between different textile types. This results in a clean separation and a higher yield of high-quality recycled materials.

How does it work?

Our advanced hyperspectral systems work as follows:

  1. Scanning: The textile is scanned with a hyperspectral camera that registers the full spectrum of light.
  2. Data analysis: The collected data is processed using advanced algorithms to identify the specific properties of each fiber.
  3. Classification: Based on the analysis, the textile pieces are automatically classified into the correct categories.

The benefits of hyperspectral textile recycling

  • High accuracy: Accurate identification of even the most complex textile blends.
  • High speed: Efficient sorting with high throughput.
  • Reduced pollution: Clean separation of different textile types.
  • Higher yield: Maximum use of recycled materials.
  • Sustainability: Contribution to a circular economy.
