Automated collection containers will sort items by assessing their quality and capturing key information about the materials through digital product passports, set to be introduced across the EU in the near future.
Producers will be notified when the discarded textiles require waste management.
Pilot activities in Finland and Spain will test the system in real-world settings, helping partners refine the innovations and explore how the system could be scaled across Europe.
