AI machine sorts clothes faster than humans to boost textile recycling in China

Wait 5 sec.

A new AI machine called Fastsort-Textile is revolutionising textile recycling in China. It rapidly sorts used clothes by fiber composition, significantly reducing waste sent for incineration. This technology offers a faster and more accurate alternative to manual sorting. Previously, up to 50% of textiles were unrecyclable. Now, this figure has dropped to 30%.
