With the launch of SORTED, the Netherlands is taking a significant step towards a circular textile industry. Supported by € 15 million from the European Just Transition Fund (JTF), including € 6 million in co-financing from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the four-year initiative brings together leading organisations from across the textile chain to develop new, scalable solutions for reuse and recycling.
Within SORTED, Code for Good provides the technology that enables autonomous decision-making in textile sorting. By building advanced AI models, textiles can be classified based on their potential for reuse or recycling, thereby increasing material recovery and reducing waste on a large scale.
The 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 provides the smart layer that connects sensors, vision systems, and AI models in one adaptive ecosystem. It translates raw data into actionable insights, enabling real-time decision-making, performance monitoring, and continuous model improvement in sorting environments.
The data is collected directly in the field using the 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽, which allows on-site operators to capture and validate visual information. This data is fed back into the platform, strengthening the AI models and ensuring a learning loop that improves both accuracy and impact over time.
We are proud to contribute, alongside inspiring partners, to a smarter and more circular textile chain.
