Material sorting & preprocessing and Recycling Experiments
Refashion regularly organises experiments in Material sorting & preprocessing and Recycling involving the industry players registered on its Recycle platform. Experiments involve advanced sorting and preprocessing for the recycling of post-consumer non-reusable textiles and footwear, based on recyclers' specifications.
The aim is to accelerate the development and deployment of industrial solutions for material preprocessing and recycling, in response to the practical needs expressed by recycling processors. These experiments contribute to establishing priorities in industrial recycling in France and Europe.
