The Role and Responsibility of Textile Sorting Plants in Romania
Sorting operators prepare post-consumer textiles for reuse or recycling through a rigorous process.
Preparing textiles for reuse or recycling
Sorting plants prepare collected post-consumer textile waste for reuse or, when reuse is not possible, for downstream recycling.
The process includes dry storage, careful feeding into the sorting flow, pre-selection, fine sorting, separation of recyclable fractions, packaging, and labelling.
Why sorting matters
Reusable textiles must be fully separated from lower-value recycling fractions and foreign materials.
From both an economic and environmental perspective, reuse remains preferable to recycling or energy recovery whenever the product can return to circulation.
