Description
On a futuristic-looking machine, a used trainer passes through a tunnel before being delicately picked up by a giant robotic arm that rips off its sole with force and precision: this operation, which seems trivial, is in fact fundamental to the world of textile recycling. Cetia in Hendaye (south-west France), the first innovation platform in the world to be able to carry out this operation automatically, is paving the way for the remanufacture of new soles from used ones.
