Europe currently recycles just one per cent of its used textiles. Shoes are composed of multiple difficult-to-separate materials like polyester, foam and leather, and so are particularly difficult to recycle. But the recycling industry is rapidly innovating.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in Hendaye in southwest France, Cetia is the world&#8217;s first \u2018innovation platform\u2019 that can automatically remove the sole of a shoe. The European Union has set ambitious textile recycling targets. By 2030, it intends to set a minimum content of recycled fibres in the composition of textiles. But clothes and shoes are difficult to dismantle and sort &#8211; meaning when they are recycled, it is often into household padding or bitumen, which can be used for things like road surfacing and roofing. The industry wants this to change.<\/p>\n<p>Cetia\u2019s machine uses infrared technology to recognise the colour and composition of the fabric when two materials are mixed. The sorted garments pass through another machine that separates the \u2018hard points\u2019 &#8211; such as zips and buttons &#8211; from the fabric. Further down the hall, another laser-cutting machine ensures that the fabric is not damaged when separated from other components. Another artificial intelligence (AI) powered machine can distinguish a pocket from a collar, or a sleeve from a pair of trouser bottoms. This cutting-edge equipment costs nearly \u20ac2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/09\/13\/just-one-per-cent-of-textile-waste-in-europe-is-recycled-these-robots-are-going-to-change-\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-396\/\">Just one per cent of textile waste in Europe is recycled.
