Textiles Recycling Expo 2026
The Textiles Recycling Expo will focus on solving the pressing issue of textile waste, including the recycling of fabrics, clothing, footwear, fibres and non-wovens. It will feature the latest sorting, shredding and recycling technologies, pioneering textile recyclers, and fibre and fabric manufacturers using reclaimed materials.
The Expo will bring together the complete textile supply chain, including leading recyclers, waste managers, textile manufacturers, clothing suppliers and retailers.
The programme includes:
- high-level panel discussions, practical case studies and in-depth keynote sessions,
- an exhibition floor with over 130 exhibitors showcasing an array of technologies, systems and solutions that are transforming textile recycling, such as NewRetex, Valvan, Worn Again Technologies and Reverse Fashion,
- live demonstrations of cutting-edge machinery sorting, processing and transforming textiles into new materials. For instance, you will be able to see the Mesdan Laboratory Shredding Machine which transforms industrial textile waste and worn-out clothes back into their original fibre forms, and NewRetex's fully automated, AI-powered sorting facilities for post-consumer textiles,
- the Textiles Recycling Awards, recognising excellence across six categories and celebrating the organisations, initiatives and innovations driving measurable progress toward textile circularity,
- the Industry Alliance Hub, a platform for networking, resource-sharing and deepening industry engagement,
- the VIP Lounge, a space where retailers, global brands and industry leaders can connect.
The Textiles Recycling Expo will run alongside the Future Fabrics Expo, creating an unparalleled opportunity to drive positive change along the fashion and textile supply chain.
This event will take place at Brussels Expo on 24-25 June. It will be in person and there is no charge for attending. Register here!
