Sorting and valuation of textiles

Approximately 200 tons of textiles pass through our test and demo environment every year. The majority of the textiles come from seven Red Cross districts in western Sweden. Our sorting and valuation staff offer unique expertise in sorting and valuation of textiles.

The textile sorter can be used by those who need access to sorting and evaluation of textile material on a test scale. Our manual sorting has the possibility to sort on specific requirements and wishes, including quality, size, color, trend, and more.

For more information about our textile sorting, please contact Annika Ödman.
