OSLO/LONDON - Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems has entered into a partnership with multifaceted recycling tech company Tomra to develop the first automated textiles sorting and pre-processing facility (ATSP) for non-reusable textiles in the UK.
The scheme, which will be underpinned by a feasibility study for a facility that can eventually be scaled up, aims to address the 700,000 tonnes of non-reusable apparel and other textiles that are generated every year in the UK.
