As preparations begin for the 2027 edition in Brussels, ReHubs is calling on organisations across the textile value chain to contribute their expertise and help shape a conference programme that reflects the industry's most important challenges, innovations and opportunities.

Béatrice Moureaux, recently appointed CEO of ReHubs, sees the Textiles Recycling Expo as an important opportunity to bring the industry's different perspectives together and accelerate progress towards commercially viable circularity. “Europe has made significant progress in developing textile recycling technologies, but innovation alone will not deliver circularity at scale. We need to address the economic and structural barriers that are preventing these solutions from becoming commercially viable. Textiles Recycling Expo provides an important platform to bring the entire value chain together, challenge existing thinking and share practical solutions.”

Through its continued partnership with the Expo, ReHubs aims to encourage dialogue across the value chain and help ensure that the conference reflects both the challenges facing the sector and the practical opportunities for collective progress.

The Call for Speakers is now open, offering experts the opportunity to present their research, technologies, case studies and insights to a highly engaged audience of recycling professionals, brands, manufacturers, policymakers and investors.

Alongside the conference, entries for the Textiles Recycling Awards are now open. With six categories, free entry, and a live awards ceremony held in the conference theatre during the event, the awards provide an excellent opportunity to showcase achievements and gain industry recognition.

Companies looking to raise their profile can also exhibit at the event. With more than 100 exhibitors already booked, stand availability is becoming increasingly limited, making early booking essential.

ReHubs looks forward to seeing the wider textile recycling community represented across the conference programme, awards and exhibition floor as the industry comes together to drive textile circularity forward.
