Automated Textile Waste Solutions

Tomra introduced 'AUTOSORT™,' a sophisticated automated solution designed to advance the sorting and recycling of textile waste. In response to tightening European regulations mandating structured textile collection and recycling systems, AUTOSORT™ provides a timely and impactful tool to support the transition toward a circular textile economy.

Engineered specifically for textiles, AUTOSORT™ employs advanced sensor technology to accurately identify and separate a wide range of fiber types, enabling the recovery of high-quality materials suitable for reuse. This precision enhances the value and usability of recycled textiles, reducing reliance on virgin inputs and mitigating environmental harm.

By streamlining a traditionally labor-intensive process, AUTOSORT™ improves operational efficiency and scalability in textile recycling. It represents a significant step toward systemic sustainability, positioning Tomra as a key enabler of industry-wide efforts to reduce waste, preserve resources, and foster circularity in global textile production.
