Industrial Challenge projects could, for example, focus on the following industrial solutions (non-exhaustive list):
- Automated sorting and characterisation technologies to separate CHF waste into homogeneous categories (by fibre type, material and colour), including the installation of automated sorting lines for material and colour recognition;
- Techniques for preprocessing materials for recycling: trims removal, cutting, disassembling, grinding, tearing processes;
- Unravelling and garnetting techniques;
- Mechanical, thermomechanical and chemical recycling technologies;
- Manufacture of finished products incorporating recycled materials, in closed loops (textile and footwear industries) and open loops (construction, automotive, plastics).
