With only two weeks remaining until the start of the second edition of the Textiles Recycling Expo 2026, preparations are entering the final phase. The exhibition and conference, dedicated exclusively to textile recycling and circularity, will take place on 24–25 June 2026 at Brussels Expo and is expected to attract stakeholders from across the textile recycling value chain.

Following its successful debut, the event returns on a significantly larger scale. Organizers expect more than 160 exhibitors and over 70 conference speakers. The programme will also include the inaugural Textiles Recycling Awards, an expanded Industry Alliance Hub, a dedicated VIP networking area hosted by Reju, and a variety of additional networking opportunities.

The exhibition will showcase the latest developments in textile recycling technologies, automated sorting systems, fibre regeneration processes, and circular business models. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet companies, organisations, and decision-makers from across the industry, including brands, retailers, recyclers, manufacturers, technology providers, policymakers, and sustainability initiatives.

A major attraction will be the conference programme, featuring speakers from organisations such as H&M, On, Shein, Volkswagen, DHL, Primark, Textile Exchange, Fashion for Good, United Nations Environment Programme, EURATEX and representatives of the European Commission.

The Industry Alliance Hub will once again serve as a focal point for collaboration across the sector, bringing together organisations including UK Fashion and Textile Association, PCIAW, ReHubs, Accelerating Circularity, Fedustria, Denim Deal and EURATEX.

As the textile industry faces increasing regulatory requirements and growing pressure to scale circular solutions, the event aims to provide a platform for exploring new technologies, building partnerships, and discussing the future direction of textile recycling. Visitors will also receive complimentary access to the co-located Future Fabrics Expo.

Registration for both events remains free of charge. Organizers expect thousands of professionals from the global textile, recycling, manufacturing, retail, sustainability, waste management, and policy sectors to attend.
