A machine uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to sort used clothes by composition at high speed, showing how AI could reduce the impact of synthetic textile waste.

The Fastsort-Textile machine was one of Time magazine's ‘Best Inventions of 2025'.

"We can make use of textile waste and reduce the amount incinerated, which will be a great help to recycling resources," DataBeyond CEO Mo Zhuoya said.
