Europe's textile recycling industry faces growing economic viability challenge.

Europe's textile recycling industry faces growing economic viability challenge. * Desk Report Published: 13 Sep, 2026 1:24PM Europe's textile recycling challenge is turning into an economic issue, with rising costs and funding gaps. Collection, sorting, and recycling systems struggle despite mounting pressure to build a circular textile industry. In the Netherlands, textile collection and pre-sorting operations are facing a net shortfall of around €0.07-€0.12 per kg in 2026, while sorting operations face a gap of €0.07-€0.14 per kg. At the upper end, this represents a deficit of up to €140 per ton of textiles sorted. The financial pressure is also evident in the UK, where textile collectors and sorters are estimated to spend around £88 million annually dealing with worn-out clothing. If the existing collection and sorting system collapses, local authorities could face an additional £64 million a year in disposal costs. France has responded to the financial pressure with exceptional government support for textile collection and sorting operators. The government provided €49 million in 2025 and is expected to provide a further €57 million in 2026. At the European level, the scale of investment required to expand textile-to-textile recycling is substantially higher. According to a BCG x ReHubs report published in March 2026, scaling textile-to-textile recycling to around 15% by 2035 could require €8-11 billion in capital investment, alongside €5-6.5 billion in annual operating costs. Europe generates approximately 15.2 million tons of textile waste annually, while less than 1% is currently recycled back into new textiles, according to the report. To establish a viable circular textile system, Europe would need to reach around 2.7 million tons of textile-to-textile recycling annually by 2035. While the economics remain challenging, recycling and sorting technologies are advancing rapidly, with several companies developing automated systems to improve the identification and separation of textile waste. TOMRA Recycling is developing automated textile sorting based on its AUTOSORT platform, combining near-infrared (NIR), visible-light (VIS) and electromagnetic sensing to identify fibre composition, colour and contaminants. ANDRITZ is developing mechanical recycling lines for post-consumer textiles, including processes for opening, tearing and fibre preparation. STADLER Group is applying automated sorting technology to textile waste, focusing on separating different textile streams before further processing. Meanwhile, Valvan's Fibersort uses NIR technology to automatically identify textile fibres according to their composition. Pellenc ST is also applying NIR-based optical sorting technology to textile waste streams, while NewRetex combines NIR, RGB cameras, machine learning and traceability to sort post-consumer textiles into multiple material fractions. Spain-based PICVISA uses NIR, VIS and deep-learning technologies through its ECOSORT TEXTIL platform to classify textiles by fibre type, colour and garment category. Notably, Europe's textile recycling is shifting from basic waste handling to advanced automation. New technologies enable higher-purity sorting and feedstock preparation for textile-to-textile recycling. However, technology alone may not be enough to close the circularity gap. With billions of euros in investment and billions more required annually for operations, the industry faces a fundamental question: can Europe build a textile recycling system that is not only technically capable, but also economically viable at scale? The answer will depend on a combination of technological development, stable financing, supportive policy measures and stronger demand for recycled textile feedstock.

PLS awards TOMRA Mining contract for a 22-sorter installation at Pilgangoora, the world's largest sensor-based sorting plant.

PLS awards TOMRA Mining contract for a 22-sorter installation at Pilgangoora, the world's largest sensor-based sorting plant. TOMRA Mining has been awarded a contract by Pilgangoora Operations Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of PLS Group Limited (PLS), for the supply of sensor-based ore sorting equipment for the proposed P2000 Expansion Project (P2000 Project) at the Pilgangoora Operation in Western Australia. The contract forms part of PLS' approved pre-Final Investment Decision (pre-FID) early works program for the P2000 Project. Engineering and procurement of long-lead equipment will commence immediately, while the P2000 Project remains subject to a positive Final Investment Decision by PLS. The award builds on the successful Pilgangoora crushing and ore-sorting facility delivered as part of previous expansion projects at Pilgangoora, which support higher throughput, feed consistency and operational flexibility. The Pilgangoora Operation has become one of the mining industry's leading examples of large-scale ore sorting integration, with TOMRA's technology playing a key role in the site's evolution from initial implementation through to full operational adoption. The contract includes the supply of 22 TOMRA XRT ore sorters comprising secondary and tertiary X-ray sorting units, together with project management services, specialist tooling, packing and delivery. If the P2000 Project is approved by the PLS Board, the installation will represent the next phase of expansion of Pilgangoora's ore sorting infrastructure. "The existing sorting circuit has demonstrated the reliability, availability and consistency required to support continuous, high-throughput operation at Pilgangoora," said Albert du Preez, SVP and Head of TOMRA Mining. "P2000 represents the next stage in that journey. It builds on years of successful collaboration between TOMRA and PLS and reflects the confidence that both organisations have developed in the value that large-scale sensor-based ore sorting delivers to lithium processing operations." "The significance of this award extends beyond the supply of equipment. It demonstrates how sensor-based sorting has matured from an innovative processing technology into an established and trusted component of modern lithium flowsheets." The relationship between TOMRA and PLS extends beyond equipment supply. Since initial test work and ore characterisation programs commenced in 2017, TOMRA has worked closely with PLS across testing, project development, commissioning and ongoing operational support. Dedicated on-site technical support combined with remote connectivity through TOMRA's global network has helped optimise long-term plant performance and contributed to the successful integration of sorting technology into Pilgangoora's operations. As hard-rock lithium operations continue to expand globally, operators are increasingly focused on technologies capable of improving resource utilisation, stabilising feed quality and enhancing downstream plant performance. The experience at Pilgangoora has demonstrated how sensor-based sorting can deliver these benefits at industrial scale while becoming fully embedded within daily operations. The P2000 contract represents the next milestone in TOMRA Mining's long-term partnership with PLS and reinforces the growing role of ore sorting technology in the future of large-scale lithium production. Take a look at the potential future of the Pilgangoora Operation here.

Tomra Recycling expands Autosort Pulse application range.

Tomra Recycling expands Autosort Pulse application range. The Autosort Pulse will be applied to stainless steel, heavy metals, magnesium and incinerator bottom ash material streams. Published August 05, 2026 Tomra Recycling, a division of Norway-based Tomra, is expanding the application range of its Autosort Pulse beyond aluminum alloy separation, which the company says will increase machine flexibility and allow operators to use one machine for multiple sorting tasks without the need for additional hardware. The system, which uses Dynamics Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), can be applied to a broader range of material streams, including stainless steel, heavy metals, magnesium and incinerator bottom ash (IBA). According to Tomra, the Dynamics LIBS technology allows the machine to analyze the elemental composition of each object and adapt to different scrap conditions. The company says the system identifies each material by its elemental composition and enables precise sorting tasks such as separating aluminum into different alloys. The system can identify and separate copper, brass, zinc, stainless steel and other fractions in mixed heavy metal streams. "Autosort Pulse has proven itself in aluminum alloy separation, and we have continued to develop what the technology can enable," says Tom Jansen, vice president, head of segments at Tomra Recycling. "Today, our customers can use one system across several material streams, from stainless steel to IBA, heavy metals and more. What changes is the application, not the technology. That flexibility turns a single investment into real operational and economic value." For stainless steel applications, the machine can separate different grades - including 316, 304 and 201 from mixed stainless steel streams - which allows for more specific and high-value output fractions from materials recyclers already process, the company says. The system can also be applied to IBA, the mineral residue left after municipal waste incineration, as it can yield complex metal streams after initial processing. The Autosort Pulse enables further separation of these fractions, according to Tomra, including low- and high-silicon 6xxx series aluminum alloys, as well as copper and brass from mixed heavy metal streams. Another new application is magnesium separation from floated super-light fractions, which Tomra says helps recyclers achieve cleaner output fractions and improve material quality. Tomra says it trains customers' teams to adapt and fine-tune sorting programs themselves so operators can react quickly when material streams change, test new input materials before committing to larger purchases and keep production stable even when market conditions shift.
