Reuser and ECOFLAKE, the Future of Textile and Plastic Recycling
Within the framework of IFAT Munich 2024, the global summit for waste and resource management, PICVISA positions itself at the forefront of the sector with the launch of disruptive solutions in waste classification and recycling: the Reuser prototype for textiles and the innovative ECOFLAKE system for plastics.
PICVISA introduces Reuser, a pioneering system designed to revolutionize the recovery of used textiles, thus supporting the second-hand market. Through the use of artificial intelligence, Reuser classifies garments with unprecedented precision, identifying specific typologies such as skirts, shirts, trousers, and socks. This detailed classification not only allows for greater efficiency in recycling but also extends the life cycle of textiles, aligning with the principles of the circular economy.
The ECOFLAKE system emerges as an advanced technological solution to the challenge of separating plastic flakes with unprecedented precision and efficiency. Using high-definition CMOS RGB cameras along with NIR technology, ECOFLAKE achieves detailed classification by color, transparency, and composition of materials. Designed to meet the needs of the plastic recycling industry, ECOFLAKE marks a turning point towards more sustainable processes with less environmental impact.
The presence of PICVISA at IFAT Munich 2024 not only demonstrates its leadership in technological innovation applied to recycling but also its commitment to sustainable development. As the first optical sorting company to obtain B Corp certification, PICVISA highlights its effort to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and corporate responsibility.
