At CETIA, we turn innovation into operational performance. We offer brands, sorters, and recyclers a state-of-the-art engineering facility—unique in Europe—where they can test, validate, and deploy the solutions of tomorrow. We navigate complexity to set new standards. You can entrust us with your waste streams, technical challenges, or process validation needs.
INDUSTRIAL TESTING AND TECHNICAL VALIDATION
Technological agility tailored to your most complex projects.
CETIA is your “industrial playground.” We accommodate the testing requirements and experimental protocols that traditional production facilities cannot integrate into their just-in-time workflows.
- Technology Testing and Evaluation – Testing the feasibility and performance of sorting and disassembly technologies on your own product streams: clothing, footwear, accessories, luggage, technical apparel, luxury goods, neoprene wetsuits, shoe uppers…
- Optimization of material preparation – Development of sorting and dismantling protocols to ensure that recyclers receive secondary raw materials that meet their specifications. Processing of your waste streams using our equipment, at pilot-scale volumes and quantities.
- A strategic partnership with CETI ensures continuity between the preparation of the material (CETIA) and its final processing into new fibers or polymers (CETI).
R&D AND PROCESS ENGINEERING
Designing and prototyping the production lines of the future.
At CETIA, we develop and implement the industrial solutions of the future.
- Prototyping of sorting and dismantling solutions – Development and testing of specialized technological modules to prepare items for recycling (sorting shoes by type and brand, multi-criteria sorting of clothing, automated separation of shoe soles, precision disassembly to isolate fabrics, etc.)
- Customized line engineering – Design and optimization of automated sorting and disassembly processes tailored to the specific characteristics of your incoming materials and your output objectives.
- Technology watch – Access to our global technology watch expertise to identify technologies (AI, robotics, sensors) relevant to the industry.
SUPPORT, ADVICE, AND TRAINING
Bring technological expertise to the field.
At CETIA, we support all stakeholders in the industry in adopting new technologies and raising awareness about sorting and dismantling.
- Support for sorting centers – Support for identifying, selecting, and integrating automated detection and sorting technologies into existing infrastructure.
- Immersive workshops on “End-of-life management » – A tour and demonstration for marketers to gain a practical understanding of the reality of a product’s end-of-life. An immersive experience to help integrate eco-design from the initial design phase.
