Europe is investing heavily in textile circularity, while Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are increasingly seen as a key enabler of more efficient textile recycling. But is the lack of product-level data really the industry's biggest challenge?
A new £16 million recycling plant has entered operation in Northern Ireland, featuring a 3D trommel screening system, six optical sorters (including Pellenc ST Mistral+ CONNECT™ full-package units), AI-driven sorting technology, and integrated digital monitoring systems, following its completion by Kiverco for McKinstry Group.
