PICVISA, a Spanish company specializing in artificial vision, robotics, optical sorting and artificial intelligence for the sorting of recyclable materials, will once again take part in ECOMONDO, the leading international trade fair for the circular economy, held in Rimini (Italy) from November 5 to 8. From its stand A3 506, PICVISA will demonstrate how its AI-driven technologies are redefining efficiency and precision in the separation, sorting, and recovery processes of recycling plants around the world. Glass: New AI for detecting dark or labeled glass In the glass sector, PICVISA is launching a new turnkey project in Brazil, strengthening its international leadership with its ECOGLASS system, now featuring artificial intelligence capable of detecting dark or labeled glass. This technological improvement optimizes the recovery of glass that is difficult to identify, ensuring higher purity of recycled material and reducing product losses. Optical sorting, Textile: Advanced sorting and new plants across Europe In the textile field, PICVISA continues advancing in post-consumer waste automation, with the first automatic textile sorting plant in Lipor (Portugal) and new facilities under development in Italy, France, and Spain. Its ECOSORT TEXTILE technology, based on hyperspectral imaging and artificial intelligence, is capable of distinguishing between knitted and woven fabrics, as well as identifying complex materials or fiber blends. Now, it also offers the option of robotized feeding, which automates the handling and placement of garments onto the conveyor belt, enabling a fully automated and more efficient sorting process - from material input to final separation. Plastics: New ECOFLAKE lines and black-plastic detection In plastics recycling, PICVISA is expanding with new ECOFLAKE lines in Spain and the United States, designed to process unique materials such as shoe soles and shredded waste from WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment). In parallel, the company is preparing to launch new AI software for black-plastic detection, enabling recycling plants to classify materials that have so far been invisible to conventional optical sensors. Metals: The new Eldan Sorting optical line In the metals sector, PICVISA has developed for Eldan Recycling the new Eldan Sorting optical classification line, comprising the SPS (Small Purpose Sorter) and MPS (Multiple Purpose Sorter) systems. Both systems, designed and engineered by PICVISA, solve key challenges in the automated sorting of cables, e-waste, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel, delivering a step change in precision, speed, and material recovery. The Eldan Sorting solutions will be showcased both at PICVISA's stand (A3 506) and at Eldan Recycling's adjacent stand, where the full range of joint solutions for metal and complex-material recycling will be presented. Innovation for an intelligent circular economy With these developments, PICVISA reinforces its commitment to technological innovation in service of the circular economy. Its goal: to improve traceability, purity, and energy efficiency in recycling processes, turning waste into new resources. At ECOMONDO 2025, visitors will discover PICVISA's flagship solutions - ECOGLASS, ECOPACK, ECOCLIP, ECOSORT TEXTILE, and ECOFLAKE - and learn how the integration of computer vision, robotics, and AI is shaping the future of smart recycling.

Inde: à Tirupur, la guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis menace des milliers d'emplois du textile

Accusant l'Inde d'être trop protectionniste et de financer la guerre en Ukraine par l'achat de pétrole russe, Donald Trump lui a infligé 50% de barrières douanières. Depuis, les relations entre l'Inde et les États-Unis ne cessent de se tendre. Notre reporter s'est rendu à Tirupur, dans le sud de l'Inde, appelée la capitale du textile indien. On y trouve 10 000 petites usines textiles qui emploient au moins 600 000 ouvriers. Toute la métropole dépend du textile, dont une bonne partie à l'export vers les États-Unis. Enfin, jusqu'à il y a peu… De notre envoyé spécial à Tirupur, Sur les trois étages de VPR Textiles, seuls quelques ouvriers s'affairent encore à la découpe. « Cinquante pour cent de taxes, c'est terrible pour Tirupur. Depuis quelques semaines, nous n'avons plus aucune commande, car 80% de nos clients venaient des États-Unis. Ils ont annulé. Moi, je fais 10% de marge, il m'est impossible de compenser ! », s'inquiète Ponnusamy, propriétaire de l'atelier. « Il y a soixante ouvriers ici. Je ne veux pas les licencier. Mais d'ici quelques semaines, je n'aurai pas d'autre choix. » Avec un chiffre d'affaires annuel de près de 8 milliards d'euros à l'export, Tirupur est une réussite industrielle. Si les portes du marché américain se ferment définitivement, la ville saura rebondir, assure le président de la Tirupur Export Association : « Sur 5 milliards d'euros d'exportations dans les usines de Tirupur, 1,6 milliard vont aux États-Unis en moyenne, soit un tiers. Pour l'instant, seuls 5% des emplois sont menacés. Et nous allons nous tourner vers de nouveaux marchés. Ça ne se fera pas en un jour, mais c'est l'affaire de six mois. » Entre incertitudes diplomatiques et espoirs européens Alors que les échanges continuent entre Donald Trump et le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi, certains espèrent un accord commercial plus arrangeant. Au local du Parti communiste indien, bien implanté dans cette ville ouvrière, l'inquiétude est plus marquée : « 30 % du marché qui s'évapore, cela ne va pas être compensé du jour au lendemain. Ce sont des dizaines de milliers d'emplois menacés à Tirupur. Les patrons disent qu'il y a peu de licenciements, mais c'est parce qu'ils renvoient les migrants pauvres venus du nord qui travaillent au noir et ne sont pas comptabilisés. » C'est l'Union européenne qui est dans tous les esprits, après la conclusion d'un accord de libre-échange entre l'Inde et le Royaume-Uni. Le patron d'Esstee Exports, un des plus grands exportateurs de Tirupur, se veut confiant : « Si un accord de libre-échange est signé avec l'Union européenne, on doublera nos exportations là-bas et ça compensera les risques liés à nos relations troublées avec les États-Unis. » Reste le risque que toutes ces négociations échouent. Tirupur compenserait alors difficilement avec le marché intérieur indien, immense mais bien moins riche.

Éco-score textile: le coût environnemental des vêtements arrive sur les étiquettes en France

En France, un éco-score textile entre en vigueur ce mercredi 1er octobre dans les enseignes de prêt-à-porter. L'objectif : informer le consommateur sur le coût environnemental du t-shirt, de la veste ou du maillot de bain qu'il s'apprête à acheter. Inspiré d'un indicateur conçu par l'Union européenne, ce nouvel outil de mesure français n'est pas obligatoire. Dans sa boutique au centre de Paris, Christophe Cordonnier vend des vêtements conçus à partir de matières recyclées. Sa marque, Lagoped, est la première en France à afficher l'éco-score de ses produits textiles. Si on prend l'exemple d'un coupe-vent de cette marque, le coût environnemental est de 2 639 points d'impact : « Ça veut dire que c'est le résultat d'une analyse de cycle de vie complète sur un produit, depuis la matière première jusqu'à sa fin de vie, en passant par sa fabrication, sa distribution, les transports, son stockage, son utilisation. Et sur cette analyse de cycle de vie, on prend en compte 16 impacts environnementaux : l'utilisation des ressources naturelles, que ce soit l'eau, les terres arables, les minerais, les pollutions de l'eau ou de la terre... » Les règles de calcul sont publiques, chaque marque peut donc s'emparer de la méthodologie ou confier ses données à un organisme extérieur. « Il faut savoir où sont faites les matières, où est fait le tricotage, le tissage, la teinture, qu'est-ce qu'on a utilisé comme produit, quels sont les poids, quelles sont les compositions... Après, on peut se contenter d'avoir simplement la composition, le poids et le pays de fabrication, ça suffit déjà pour calculer un score, qui ne sera pas le plus précis de ce que fait l'entreprise qui calcule le score, mais en tout cas, qui sera une approximation qu'on peut mener », poursuit Christophe Cordonnier. Plus le produit a un score élevé, plus son impact sur la planète est lourd. Pour ces deux passantes, ce nouveau chiffre indiqué sur l'étiquette aura du mal à rivaliser avec les petits prix des enseignes de fast fashion. « Je connais beaucoup de gens qui pensent d'abord économiquement, et c'est normal. C'est un peu compliqué en ce moment ou parce qu'ils n'ont pas beaucoup d'argent », lâche une première. Un indicateur pour repenser la consommation « Mais aussi, je pense que les personnes ne sont pas forcément informées sur le coût environnemental de la production de vêtements et que, justement, si l'éco-score venait à être mis en vigueur correctement, ça pourrait être un vrai outil sur la manière dont on informe les consommateurs sur leur choix », note une autre. Un indicateur qui va dans le bon sens selon l'ONG les Amis de la Terre, mais qui devrait être assorti de pénalités financières pour les marques. Pierre Condamine, chargé des questions de surproduction, développe : « Si je vends un t-shirt qui a un impact environnemental qui est bien plus élevé que le reste, eh bien, je dois payer 1€, 2€ en plus pour avoir le droit de le commercialiser en France. Et ça, c'est ce qu'on demande. Parce qu'en effet, l'information, la sensibilisation, c'est une bonne étape, mais ça n'infléchit pas les pratiques des consommateurs et des consommatrices. Mais, par contre, si on met une pénalité financière, les entreprises peuvent, elles, être plus disposées à essayer de changer leurs pratiques. » Les marques afficheront cet éco-score sur la base du volontariat. Et pour celles qui ne l'ont pas fait d'ici un an, la société civile pourra publier elle-même le coût environnemental de leurs produits sans accord préalable de l'enseigne.

Export margins are being squeezed, small businesses have maxed out working capital loans and inventories have piled up as orders have stalled, and mills are facing a major shortage of cotton.

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we're chasing down the beginnings of a Pennsylvania hemp fiber supply chain. We start the day in southern Lancaster County at Steve Groff's farm, standing in the middle of what he calls his “hemp canyon,” with towering stalks over fifteen feet tall. Groff has about 60 acres of the Australian hemp variety MS-77, which seems to do well on Groff's farm. He's also working on a green decorticator. If the machine works as planned, it could change the way fiber hemp is harvested — cleaner, faster and without the need for retting. From there we cross the Susquehanna River into York County to visit Dave Cook at Tuscarora Mills in Red Lion. Dave and his partner Heidi Custer are working to turn Pennsylvania-grown hemp into yarn and fabric. Their mill is full of antique looms and their goal is simple but ambitious: To revive textile production here in the Keystone State using local hemp fiber. It's still early days for a Pennsylvania supply chain, but the work Groff and Cook are doing points toward a future where hemp textiles are grown, processed and woven right here at home.

If we need proof that textiles can rewrite human history, then it lies with the bog bodies of northern Europe. Textile archaeologists are revealing a whole new past about people who, in some cases, are older than Tutankhamen, but much less celebrated. Across northern Europe there are hundreds of bog bodies, who long ago were buried in marshlands and were preserved down the centuries by acidic conditions and lack of oxygen. We will never know all their secrets, but slowly we are discovering more about who they were, and how they lived. It is their textiles that bring us closer to them and tell us, not just about their skills, but also how they thought and designed cloth and clothing.    In Denmark more than a hundred marsh bodies have been found - some in extraordinary states of preservation. They date from the late Bronze and early Iron Ages, and are between 1,500 and 3,000 years old. But what some of them are wearing can take us back much further than that, into a time when humans first started to cover their bodies with clothing. For this episode, Jo travelled to the National Museum of Denmark, in Copenhagen, to explore the textiles of two of the world's most famous bog bodies.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/

Are environmentalists to blame for cotton's declining share of the textile fibre market?

Did environmental campaigners really contribute to a decline in cotton's global share of fibre production?  Well, according to a rather punchy opinion piece in Cotton Grower a couple of months ago, the answer is a resounding, yes. The article claims that environmentalists have been intellectually dishonest and fed a binary narrative of cotton bad, synthetic fibers good….which created pressure from watchdogs and investor ESG mandates…which then led to brands moving away from conventional cotton to synthetics…and as a result we are now awash with cheap synthetics clothing.  Now, this is a lot to leave at the door of environmentalists, and this polemic seemed a bit lop-sided, so to balance things out we thought it would be good to talk to Ecotextile News' dedicated Cotton Correspondent Simon Ferrigno, who has also done his fair share of environmental campaigner over the years.   Do people like Simon have a case to answer for? In the podcast, we also turn the article's claim on its head - and ask whether the cotton industry should pay more attention to the many environmentalists' trying to make cotton production more sustainable and efficient.

Avant la guerre, le textile syrien était reconnu à travers le monde pour sa qualité, en particulier pour son coton. Le secteur, pilier de l'économie, pesait 12% du PIB. À Alep, la capitale économique, le textile représente 75% de la production et emploie 300 000 personnes. Mais les entreprises ont été, elles aussi, touchées par la guerre et le racket organisé par le régime Assad. Aujourd'hui, la levée annoncée des sanctions internationales redonne espoir aux acteurs de la filière qui rêvent de redevenir la locomotive du développement de la Syrie.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Alep, À Cheikh Najjar, la zone industrielle d'Alep, des entrepôts calcinés côtoient des manufactures reconstruites. Pendant la guerre, la région a été au cœur des combats entre les rebelles et le régime Assad soutenu par son allié russe. À la tête de l'entreprise de textile Al Faisal, Bassam Dawalibi a dû rebâtir son usine en 2017. Celle-ci emploie aujourd'hui 150 personnes et produit 10 tonnes de fil par jour à partir de matières synthétiques importées de Chine, qui ont remplacé le coton syrien. « La matière première que nous utilisons, c'est du polyester qui est fabriqué à partir de pétrole. Malheureusement, la production locale de coton s'est effondrée avec la guerre et on ne pouvait pas s'en procurer facilement. Nous espérons qu'à l'avenir, nous pourrons revenir au coton », explique Bassam Dawalibi, directeur financier de l'entreprise Al Faisal. Avant la guerre, la Syrie était pourtant le troisième producteur de coton au monde. Depuis la chute du régime, les nouvelles autorités libéralisent l'économie à tout va. Les droits de douane ont été réduits et les textiles turcs et chinois inondent le marché, au grand dam de Bassam Dawalibi. Sans de telles mesures, le directeur s'inquiète de devoir plier bagage : « La production nationale fait face à une concurrence injuste et désavantageuse des importations et cela n'a pas été réfléchi. Je souhaite que le gouvernement augmente les droits de douane sur les produits étrangers pour protéger l'industrie locale. » À Alep, les souks pluri-centenaires ont été endommagés ou détruits à 60% d'après l'Unesco. Dans les rues épargnées, la vie reprend, mais les affaires tournent au ralenti. « Actuellement, la situation est en dessous de la moyenne financièrement. Sauf pendant les fêtes ou les saisons où les proches vivant à l'étranger envoient de l'aide. Sinon, il n'y a rien », se désole Ahmad Sawwas, vendeur de vêtements au souk d'Alep. Sur les étals, quelques produits chinois, mais principalement des vêtements assemblés en Syrie à partir de fibres ou de tissus importés. Ici, beaucoup espèrent que la levée des sanctions permettra de relancer la culture du coton syrien et de faire revenir les entrepreneurs en exil.   À lire aussiSyrie: «Ils ont déplacé tous les Bédouins» de Soueïda, même ceux qui n'étaient pas impliqués dans les combats
