trinamiX has introduced a mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy solution aimed at improving transparency and traceability in footwear and textile value chains. The system enables on-site identification of materials such as EVA, polyester, and PU in shoes, and blends like cotton/polyester or viscose/polyester in textiles, within seconds, during incoming inspections, production, or recycling. This enhances material separation, quality control, and recycling readiness while reducing contamination and manual sorting. The textile application will launch in May 2026, supporting material declarations, sorting accuracy, and closed-loop recycling. The ecosystem combines a handheld spectrometer (PAL Two), a mobile app, and a cloud-based data platform, with API interfaces for integration into existing software and compliance with regulatory concepts like Digital Product Passports (DPP) and sustainability metrics. trinamiX GmbH, founded in 2015 as a BASF SE subsidiary and based in Ludwigshafen, Germany, employs over 200 people and holds more than 800 patents and applications across industries including consumer electronics, automotive, and circular economy.
