Meet the CRTX.ai team.
We are an interdisciplinary team of sustainability and technology passionates utilizing AI powered solutions to revolutionise the textile sorting for a circular economy.
PROJECT PARTNERS
The Project Circular Textiles Intelligence (CRTX) is a 3-years collaborative research and innovation project funded through the initiative 'KI-Leuchttürme für Umwelt, Klima, Natur und Ressourcen' ('AI Lighthouses for Environment, Climate, Nature and Resources') of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety Germany. The consortium of circular.fashion, TU Berlin and FU Berlin explore jointly how AI and spectroscopy can enable intelligent textile sorting for a circular economy.
circular.fashion is a Berlin-based innovator creating product and system innovation for a circular economy in fashion and textiles. The company develops services and software for circular design as well as infrastructures and sorting innovations to empower the use of fibre-to-fibre recycling.
Technische Universität Berlin is a member of the Berlin University Alliance, making it one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence.
