The Textiles Recycling Expo has entered a major new collaboration with the Future Fabrics Expo which means that both events will run alongside each other at the Brussels Expo, Belgium on 24–25 June 2026. This co-location marks a significant step forward for the textile and fashion industries, bringing together two influential and complementary events under one roof.


The Textiles Recycling Expo made its debut at the Brussels Expo in June 2025, attracting more than 3,300 attendees. The Future Fabrics Expo was launched in 2011 and has traditionally taken place in London, UK, where it attracted over 2,000 visitors in June 2025. Additional Future Fabrics events and showcases have taken place in New York, Paris, Shanghai and Munich.

The co-location of the two events brings together the textile-to-textile recycling and sustainable fabrics markets, creating a uniquely comprehensive meeting place for brands, retailers, manufacturers, recyclers, innovators, and policymakers. Visitors will be able to explore the full spectrum of sustainable materials in one place, from groundbreaking recycling technologies and systems at the Textiles Recycling Expo to responsibly-produced materials at the Future Fabrics Expo.

The event is free to attend, plus visitors can access both shows over the two days in the same venue (with separate registrations, each valid for both events). Visitors will engage directly with the latest recycling innovations, understand material impacts, and explore actionable pathways to reduce waste, close loops, and transition towards a more sustainable materials portfolio, design and manufacturing. Each event will host its own free-to-attend conference and seminar programme, opening the door to more diverse content and creating a unique learning experience.

“We are delighted that the Future Fabrics Expo will take place alongside our second Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels next June,” said Zied Chetoui, the Exhibition Manager of Textiles Recycling Expo. “The two events complement each other perfectly; together they will create the essential meeting place for anyone involved in sustainable and circular fashion. This announcement is fantastic news for visitors and exhibitors alike and it’s an important step towards accelerating real change across the global value chain.”

Nina Marenzi, Founder and CEO of The Sustainable Angle and Future Fabrics Expo added: “Holding Future Fabrics Expo 2026 alongside Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels presents a great collaborative opportunity which will benefit the entire industry by facilitating brand and industry attendance and engagement, driving deeper impact. Presenting alongside each other has synergistic effects with strong complementary advantages for our exhibitors and visiting brands. With significant EU policy changes reshaping our industry, Brussels provides a suitable location for Future Fabrics Expo 2026 to enable the industry to meet climate-related targets in this new regulatory environment.”

The Textiles Recycling Expo and Future Fabrics Expo will take place 24–25 June 2026 at Brussels Expo, Belgium.
