EuRIC Textiles aims to promote the collective interests of the European textile recycling and re-use industries.

They are organising a high-level event on the future of the EU textiles reuse and recycling sector. It will bring together new MEPs, European Commission officials, environment attachés from EU Member States and key stakeholders from the textiles circular value chain.

The event will present the EuRIC Textiles Manifesto and feature a keynote speech on how the EU textile industry can stay competitive in the circular economy. There will be discussions on advancing textile circularity in Europe, bridging the gap between policy making and business realities, and facilitating the trade of second-hand clothing.

The panelists will discuss advancing textile circularity in Europe, addressing industry challenges, exploring global connections between the EU, Asia, and Africa, facilitating second-hand trade, improving recycling markets, and optimising textile flows with enhanced criteria and trade codes.

This event will take place in person at 12 noon to 18.30 CET on 27 March 2025 at the Stanhope Hotel Brussels.
