Fibersort Demo Day

The Fibersort team is innovating technology to enable high value textile to textile recycling (creating new textiles from old ones). This is key to reducing the negative impact of the apparel industry and increasing the value of unwearable textiles for the second hand industry.

The Fibersort automatically sorts large volumes of mixed post-consumer textiles by fiber type, and it does so with a high degree of accuracy. Crucially, this will supply high value textile to textile recyclers with large volumes of quality-assured feedstock for their processes.

Circle Economy’s Circle Market is a digital textile trading platform. Through the platform, Fibersort users can sell their recycling feedstock to high value textile to textile recyclers while brands, retailers, and manufacturers can do the same with their textile waste.  This comprehensive solution will enable a closed loop apparel system to flourish, create new vertical markets for the second hand industry, and reduce the negative environmental impact of fashion.
