Sorting for Materials Recycling - Amsterdam Pilot Booklet Ch.4

Non-reusable textile products might not make great clothes, but they can still be used as recycled materials. Because there are several recycling methods (each with their own material-specific demands), the sorting process must be adapted depending on the process. In most cases, sorting is done manually, but a lot of progress has been made in the field of automated sorting. Automated sorting has the potential to be much more precise and will lead to more consistent batches of sorted materials. Precision is important in this instance because better sorting means a more optimised recycling process
