"What differentiates us is our ability to sort for reuse, repair, and recycling in a single step. Most competitors focus only on recycling; we unlock the value in every garment." — Achille Mathot, Co-founder & CEO
Key Takeaways from the Trends Feature
In a deep-dive by Caroline Lallemand, Trends-Tendances highlights how Trosort is turning a market under pressure into a streamlined digital ecosystem. With EU directives now banning textile waste, our technology arrived at the perfect moment to support overwhelmed sorting centers.
New insights highlighted in this feature:
From SortMate to Scale: Evolution from a "garage rack" to a sophisticated industrial system developed in collaboration with automation experts (ICA).
Equipment as a Service (EaaS): We don't just sell machines; we partner with centers via a monthly subscription that includes all software updates and maintenance.
Empowering People: By simplifying the complex decision-making process, our AI allows a wider range of workers (including those in social reintegration programs) to operate the lines.
The Hidden Data Asset: Beyond sorting, our system generates precise reports on brand durability and environmental impact—data that is now highly sought after by European regulators and eco-organizations.
Boosting E-commerce: Our technology allowed Kringwinkel Antwerp to launch its e-shop by automatically generating the photos and descriptions needed for online sales.
