- To address the need for high quality data to support terxtile sorting system design and validation, they released a dataset of NIR spectra of known-provenance and post-consumer fabrics, called
Summary
Contact fibrils nist.gov (fibrilsnistgov). This project is a part of NIST’s Circular Economy Program, whose goal is to leverage expertise in measurement science, standards, and technology to support stakeholders in addressing circular supply chain challenges. Material recovery systems in the textile industry face significant challenges in rapid and reliable feedstock identification of heterogeneous textile waste streams. The Textiles team at NIST has previously held two workshops: Facilitating a Circular Economy for Textiles in September 2021 and Standards Needs for Circular Textiles in October 2023 in collaboration with ASTM and American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).
