New trade fair brings innovation to the textile recycling industry: Textiles Recycling Expo 2025 in Brussels

The textile recycling industry is set for a groundbreaking transformation with the launch of the Textiles Recycling Expo, a new exhibition dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of textile waste. This innovative expo is the first of its kind, focusing exclusively on the recycling of fabrics, clothing, footwear, fibers, and non-wovens. The event will be held from June 4-5, 2025, in Brussels, Belgium, and is free to attend.

Discover the Latest Technologies

The Textiles Recycling Expo serves as an international platform showcasing cutting-edge developments aimed at solving the textile waste problem. Attendees can expect to see the latest sorting, shredding, and recycling technologies, alongside pioneering textile recyclers and manufacturers of fibers and fabrics made from reclaimed materials.

Be Inspired

Running concurrently with the exhibition is a high-level two-day conference that offers industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders a forum to shape a sustainable future for the textiles industry. This conference provides valuable insights and perspectives on the textile recycling industry and opportunities for knowledge sharing and discussion.

Connect and Collaborate

New EU regulations and increasing consumer pressures are driving the need for cross-industry collaboration to develop viable solutions to divert textile waste from landfills. The expo presents an opportunity to connect with the entire supply chain and explore recycling strategies and technologies that can meet these demands.

Zied Chetoui, Events Organizer at AMI, highlighted the significance of the event: "After months of hard work behind the scenes, I am excited to share the launch of our innovative Textiles Recycling Expo, dedicated to transforming #textilewaste. Our mission is to foster collaboration and spark a global movement towards a more sustainable future for textiles."

The founding partners and exhibitors include ReHubs, Fedustria, EuRIC, Textile Recycling Association, AIMPLAS, CARBIOS, Closeoop, MagnoLab, LIST Technology AG, NewRetex A/S, Pellenc ST, PICVISA, REDWAVE, Reverse Resources, STADLER Anlagenbau GmbH, and TOMRA Recycling.
