PROCYON FOUNDRY
We research how European regulations affect data management, traceability and reporting across textile collection, sorting and recycling operations
WHAT WE EXPLORE
We examine how textile sorting and recycling operators manage material flows, track information and meet reporting requirements. Our research focuses on understanding existing processes, identifying operational challenges and exploring opportunities for improvement.
Material Flow Management
How operators record, classify and reconcile incoming and outgoing material streams.
Traceability & Data Exchange
How material information is captured, maintained and shared between organizations.
Reporting & Compliance
How operational records support reporting obligations and stakeholder requirements.
Digital Systems & Processes
How organizations use software, spreadsheets and manual workflows to manage information.
OUR FOCUS
The EU's evolving regulatory framework is introducing new requirements for textile waste management, including the tracking, documentation and reporting of material flows.Procyon Foundry explores how sorting and recycling operators manage these requirements in practice, the systems they rely on and the operational challenges they encounter.
1. Textile EPR & Waste Framework Directive
Exploring how textile collection, sorting and recycling operators manage material flows, maintain records and respond to evolving reporting requirements under the EU Waste Framework Directive and national EPR schemes.
2. Digital Product Passports & ESPR
Examining emerging requirements for product information, ecodesign and digital product passports, particularly their implications for traceability, material information and circular value chains.
3. Material Traceability & Data Exchange
Investigating how organizations collect, manage and exchange information about materials throughout the textile value chain, including the role of existing software systems, manual processes and data interoperability.
