17th Colloquium on Recycling for Textiles with accompanying trade exhibition in Chemnitz

Shaping the future – closing cycles

The thematic focus is on technologies for textile recycling, circular and sustainable textile products, and the implementation of circular economy principles. Other topics include the collection, sorting and man- agement of textile waste, as well as successful cooperation models for a circular textile industry. A con- cluding pitch session offers start-ups and universities the opportunity to present innovative ideas and solutions as forward-looking alternatives to conventional processes.

Trade exhibition celebrates its premiere

For the first time, the colloquium will be accompanied by a trade exhibition. Companies, research insti- tutions and service providers will present their products, services and latest research and development results. The trade exhibition offers participants numerous opportunities for direct exchange and the ini- tiation of new collaborations – supported by networking opportunities during conference breaks, at the business lunch and the evening event.

‘The colloquium has established itself as an important platform for professional exchange in the textile industry. With the new trade exhibition, we are expanding the concept to include a valuable component for direct knowledge transfer and the presentation of innovative solutions,’ explains Johannes Leis, STFI expert for textile recycling and circular economy.
