Refiberd has designed an integrated textile recycling system that utilizes AI and robotics to sort the textiles properly according to their types and kinds and recycling them with their patent-pending chemical recycling process to produce a 100% repurposed thread: good for a large range of applications, from industrial purposes to hobbies like embroidery.
