Our team is excited to announce our very first partnership within the textile industry, a new collaboration with Refiberd, a trailblazer in the fashion industry, aiming to achieve true circularity in textile recycling. Refiberd's innovative sorting technology is a game-changer, addressing a critical bottleneck in the industry: the efficient and accurate sorting of textiles. Currently, less than 1% of textile waste is recycled into new clothing due to the challenges in processing unsorted waste. Refiberd can divert up to 70% of textile waste to high-value recyclers. This collaboration not only disrupts the traditional cycle of waste but also unlocks new sustainable opportunities across the fashion industry. Together with Refiberd, Photon etc. is proud to be at the forefront of this sustainable revolution, contributing our expertise in hyperspectral imaging to enhance textile sorting efficiency. Awesome work Tushita Gupta & Sarika Bajaj, we look forward to working together! __ Notre équipe est heureuse d'annoncer notre premier partenariat dans l'industrie textile, une nouvelle collaboration avec Refiberd, visant à atteindre une véritable circularité dans le recyclage des textiles. La technologie de tri innovante de Refiberd change la donne en s'attaquant à un obstacle majeur dans l'industrie : le tri efficace et précis des textiles. Actuellement, moins de 1 % des déchets textiles sont recyclés en nouveaux vêtements en raison des difficultés liées au traitement des déchets non triés. Refiberd peut détourner jusqu'à 70 % des déchets textiles vers des recycleurs de grande valeur. Cette collaboration ne perturbe pas seulement le cycle traditionnel des déchets, mais ouvre également de nouvelles perspectives durables dans l'industrie de la mode. En collaboration avec Refiberd, Photon etc. est fière d'être à l'avant-garde de cette révolution durable, en apportant son expertise en imagerie hyperspectrale pour améliorer l'efficacité du tri des textiles. Excellent travail Tushita Gupta & Sarika Bajaj !

Thank you so much to California Product Stewardship Council for highlighting us in their Green Arrow Award this year! They have been responsible already for so much change in the way California thinks about textile waste, and we are very appreciative of their support!
Congratulations to Refiberd for winning the 2023 Green Arrow Award! Refiberd's device combines state-of-the-art hyperspectral imagining system with artificial intelligence for high accuracy for fiber composition and contamination, which can unlock new opportunities in textile reuse and recycling. #circulareconomy #arrowaward
