It is very difficult to accurately determine the fiber composition of the textiles that arrive at a recycling facility. Clothing labels only provide partial information. Gwen describes the innovative Fibersort technology, with which textiles can be sorted based on fiber composition.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS
- The market introduction of Fibersort technology will provide recycling companies with access to textiles with a known fibre composition. This will make it easier to recycle textiles, instead of down cycling them.
