How can robots sort our recycling? #WorldEnvironmentDay #TextileRecycling #Sustainability #Recycling @InstituteofPhysics

Happy World Environment Day! 🌎

Millions of garments end up in landfill every year. But before textiles can be recycled, they need to be sorted by material - and that’s not always easy.

In this video, Darlene Sammut explains that Matoha Instrumentation uses infrared light to identify textile fabrics in seconds, helping recyclers separate materials accurately and efficiently. They’ve even integrated this technology into robotic systems that can identify garments as they pick them up.

No labels. No guesswork. Just smarter textile recycling.

The future of textile recycling is here - and it’s powered by physics. ♻️

$The Homi Bhabha Lectures 2021: Women in Science in India: status and prospects Dr Godbole will give an overview of the current status about participation of women in Science and future prospects. This will be influenced by her experiences as the founding chair of the Indian Academy Panel for Women in Sciences and a series of programs /initiatives which she has participated or initiated over the past few decades. One of them being a book that she co-edited Lilavatis Daughters: Women Scientists of India. The talk will also draw upon experiences gained in drafting the Equity and inclusion chapter in Indias Science, Technology and innovation policy, 2020. Some of the recent reports and books edited/authored are listed below. R.M. Godbole and R.
