IDS case study: Efficient textile recycling with AI and image processing
Intelligent sorting of used clothing
The volume of used textiles continues to grow, yet less than one percent is currently recycled in a closed-loop system. Manual sorting has long reached its limits.
The Recycling Atelier at the Institute of Textile Technology Augsburg (ITA) demonstrates a smarter approach: DETEX, an AI-based sorting system, enables automated and precise classification of textiles. Using artificial intelligence and two high-resolution uEye XC cameras, the system identifies materials and key garment properties and assigns them to defined categories. This makes an important contribution toward efficient textile recycling.
