Designing a Textile Waste Service to Increase the Reuse of Materials through Textile Identification Technology and Improved Systems

Yodomo正在设计一项创新的废物和再利用服务，该服务在当地与企业和创意社区合作，以防止纺织品过早降级或被送往垃圾填埋或焚烧。针对所有等级的消费前过剩纺织品，它将减少碳足迹，同时支持使用免费或低成本材料的创造性微型企业，为迫切的纺织废物问题提供真正的循环解决方案。我们目前的系统收集来自40多家企业的连续纺织废物，这些废物被带到我们在哈克尼的中心，并被分类为可识别的纺织品类型。我们的社区有1000多家创意微型企业，收集材料并将其转化为新产品。我们收集我们收到的材料的数据，登记带走的材料，并收集成员创造的产品的信息。我们创新的商业纺织品废物服务将满足企业的需求，这些企业希望更好地报告其废物的最终去向，同时确保材料在经济系统中尽可能长时间保持最高价值。新设计的服务将收取企业收集消费前纺织品废物的费用，在源头使用创新的英国制造的识别技术，以更好地将它们分类和重新分配给我们日益增长的创意微型企业和制造商社区。在不可能重复使用的地方，我们将与英国合作伙伴合作粉碎材料，以便它们可以继续用作纸质包装，确保没有东西被浪费。我们的废物系统将提供对商业客户有价值的详细数据报告，在源头引入更好的分类方法，并采用新的纺织品识别技术，使用红外分析技术和机器学习算法，以实现原本不可行的商业重复使用机会。否则将被丢弃或降级的材料将以其可能的最高价值重新引入经济，整合了纺织业的循环解决方案。

Yodomo is designing an innovative waste and reuse service that works locally with businesses and creative communities to prevent textiles from becoming prematurely downgraded or sent to landfill or incineration. Addressing pre-consumer surplus textiles of all grades, it will reduce carbon footprint whilst supporting creative microbusinesses with free or low-cost materials to provide a truly circular solution to the urgent issue of textile waste.Our current system collects continuous textile waste from 40+ businesses, which is brought to our hub in Hackney and sorted into identifiable textile types. Our community of 1000+ creative microbusinesses collect materials and turn them into new products. We collect data on the materials we receive, register materials taken away and gather information on products created by members. Our innovative commercial textile waste service will meet the demand of businesses looking to better report on where their waste ends up, whilst ensuring materials stay at their highest value within the economic system for as long as possible.The newly designed service will charge businesses to collect their pre-consumer textile waste, using innovative UK-made identification technology at the source to better sort and redistribute them to our growing community of creative microbusinesses and makers. Wherever reuse is not possible, we will work with UK partners to shred materials so that they can continue to be used as paper packaging, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.Our waste system will offer detailed data reporting that will be valuable to business clients, introduce better sorting methods at source, and employ new textile identification technology which uses infrared analysis techniques and machine-learning algorithms to allow for commercial reuse opportunities that would otherwise not be viable. Materials otherwise destined for disposal or downgrade will be reintroduced into the economy at their highest-possible value, integrating a circular solution to the textiles industry.
