STREP Project

Inside the future of textile recycling. 🧵

Our partner #NewRetex is showing us how they’ve automated the "un-sortable." This walkthrough of their facility highlights:

🤖 Feeding robots
🛰️ Advanced sensor packages
🏗️ Precision conveyor sorting.

Proud to be working together under the #STREP banner!

#DidYouKnow?
Most clothes end up in landfills because their "identity" is lost. Labels fade, but data lasts forever. 🧵

We’re exploring Digital Material Passports: high-res scans that create "digital twins" of fabrics. In 3min, we can map a textile’s DNA from its stretch to its chemical finish. 🧪✨

The January #STREP blog is out! 🧵

Jovan Najdic (Quantox Technology) explores why "information" is the biggest barrier to textile recycling.
See how we're building the digital infrastructure to turn textile waste into a traceable resource.

Welcome to the first edition of our new #STREP #DidYouKnow rubric! 🤔

Today’s Fact: Usually, if textile waste is wet or dirty, it’s a problem for recyclers. But for us? It's actually the perfect fuel.

Check the images below to find out why! 👇

We were glad to attend the #ECOSYSTEX Steering Committee yesterday, 21st January!

As a new member joining this year, #STREP is ready to contribute to the crucial work discussed regarding the future of textile sustainability.

Great to be on board. 🌍♻️

The future of fashion isn't just about better materials - it's about better data!

As we wrap up an incredible #first #year of the project, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for being part of our journey.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a successful New Year! 💚

Happy Holidays from the #STREP team! 🎄 💫

From Textile Waste to Value 🧵🔄

Recycling only works if sorting is perfect.
Our new blog post explores how the #STREPproject is using automation and AI to tackle the "bottleneck" of complex textile waste.

Dean Pavel Kuran & UJEP are accelerating the science of sustainable textile recycling for STREP!🧵🔬

Theiy focus on analyzing liquid products from chemical recycling streams; evaluating mechanical prop. of recycled textiles.

This is critical to optimizing recyclability & advancing EU textile waste.

That’s a wrap on #EWWR2025! 🇪🇺♻️

Over 13,000 actions took place across Europe to "Switch off the Waste", focusing this year on electronics.

At STREP, we are keeping that momentum going for Textiles. Whether it's a phone or a jacket, resources should never be waste.
