Matoha is revolutionising the end-of-life pathway for textiles. Using spectral analysis supported by AI, its handheld devices, benches and robotic solutions can determine the material composition of clothing, carpets and plastics, and enable more accurate and efficient sorting of textiles for re-use and mechanical, enzymic and chemical recycling.

‍

Its devices are

• able to scan and accurately identify materials in less than a second, bypassing the need for lab analysis

• can augment the human capability to rapidly sort materials into valuable reusable and recyclable feedstock

• affordable, enabling developing countries to access high-tech solutions
  ‍
• capable of end-of-life waste sorting and materials testing when entering supply chains for the textiles, plastics and carpets industries

‍

In 2025, Matoha’s devices

• identified and tracked 2,040 tonnes of mixed textiles materials
  ‍
• diverted 98% of this waste from incineration or landfill
  ‍
• saved the equivalent of 2,000 tonnes of CO₂
