Infinity

Infinity wrote: We propose automated bins based on nir spectroscopy that sort textiles by fibre for recycling (skipping the waste/incineration emissions): natural fiber can be used for producing new clothes (skipping the growing and harvesting emissions). Synthetics can be routed to pet to products like bottles (skipping the petroleum emissions). The infinity bin is fully automated. Clothing pieces are inserted one by one on the belt which starts up (similar to automated book drops in some libraries). The fibre sensor (fibersort) works by measuring how much light from an infrared light source is absorbed by each textile. The reflected light creates a characteristic spectrum of each fibre type or blend combination... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Baby bodysuit extensions

BodyExtend.Me wrote: We all know how fast babies grow out of their clothes and what a struggle this is if you are a mom. We solved this problem by producing bodysuit extensions - an ecofriendly solution for moms with kids up to 3 years that offers a longer period of usage to a small bodysuit (3 more months). Thanks to bodyextend. Me extensions, the bodysuit will grow at the same time with your baby and instead of 10 bodysuits moms can use only 5 for a longer period, helping moms minimize the expenses on bodysuits and the number of bodysuits necessary to raise a baby. Also we can cut in half resources needed to produce bodysuits such as - work force, fabrics, energy, which will reduce negative impact of baby fashion industry waste on the environment...
