Textile collection and sorting
As of 2025, textiles will be collected separately in all EU Member States. This means that large quantities of textiles will need to be handled, requiring efficient processes for collection and subsequent logistics.
After the textiles have been collected, they undergo a sorting process that can be done both manually and automatically. Depending on the condition of the textiles, they can either be reused or recycled.
Want to know more about textile collection and sorting? Or need help identifying what your textiles can be used for?
Hire IVL for:
- Strategy and choices related to collection and management
- Mapping of textile flows
- Innovation efforts for increased textile reuse and recycling
- Environmentally and economically viable business models
- Procurement of services for sustainable textile management
IVL developed the world's first large-scale textile recycling plant
IVL was the project manager for SIPTex - Swedish Innovation Platform for Textile Sorting - which developed automated sorting for high-quality textile recycling. The project resulted in the world's first large-scale textile recycling plant in Malmö. Read more about SIPTex here: Textile waste becomes unique recycling products.
