Abstract:
Any textile recycling approach requires an input material stream of defined purity and the process of choice to achieve this is automated sorting. Establishing sorting centres and feasible sorting fractions for subsequent recycling in a promising manner necessitates a knowledge base regarding composition and contents of (fibre) materials within the textiles to be processed. This study presents the results of a comprehensive sorting analysis, applying a hitherto rarely-used sorting methodology to the city of Vienna, Austria. The results suggest that there is a valid potential for material recycling in sorted end-of-use textiles.
