Textiles Recycling Expo Europe 2027

Textiles Recycling Expo Europe 2027 will return to Brussels Expo in Belgium on 16–17 June 2027, bringing together the international textile recycling community to explore technologies, partnerships and practical solutions for tackling textile waste.

The free-to-attend exhibition and conference connects recyclers, waste managers, fibre and textile manufacturers, clothing suppliers, brands, retailers, technology providers and other stakeholders across the textile value chain.

Turning Textile Waste Into New Resources

Textiles Recycling Expo focuses specifically on solutions for recovering and recycling fabrics, clothing, footwear, fibres and nonwovens.

The exhibition showcases technologies and services designed to increase textile recovery rates, including sorting systems, shredding equipment, recycling technologies and solutions for converting discarded textiles into reclaimed fibres and new materials.

Visitors can also meet textile recyclers and fibre and fabric manufacturers working with recycled raw materials, providing a practical view of how circular textile supply chains are developing at industrial scale.

Recycling Technologies in Action

Technology demonstrations are an important part of the event, giving visitors the opportunity to see equipment sorting, processing and transforming textile waste into reusable materials.

The 2027 event programme highlights technologies for sorting, shredding, mechanical recycling and material recovery, helping manufacturers and recyclers evaluate different pathways for post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste.

As textile-to-textile recycling moves toward larger industrial applications, the ability to connect technology suppliers with manufacturers, brands and waste management companies is becoming increasingly important.

Connecting the Complete Textile Recycling Chain

The event is designed to bring together stakeholders from across the full textile circularity ecosystem.

Its professional audience includes textile recyclers, waste managers, clothing manufacturers, fashion brands, fibre and textile producers, footwear companies, home textile suppliers, retailers, charities, legislators, environmental organisations and technology providers.

This cross-industry approach reflects one of the central challenges facing textile recycling: achieving circularity requires coordination between collection, sorting, recycling, material manufacturing, product design, brands and end markets.

Recent European initiatives are also increasing the focus on creating commercially viable textile-to-textile recycling systems. A new European textile circularity blueprint has highlighted the need for greater collaboration and investment to scale recycling infrastructure across the region.

Industry Alliance Hub Brings Key Organisations Together

The Industry Alliance Hub provides a dedicated space for industry associations and organisations involved in textile recycling and circularity to exchange knowledge and discuss policy, technology and market development.

The current event programme brings together organisations including ReHubs, Fedustria, EURATEX, Denim Deal, Accelerating Circularity, UKFT and PCIAW.

The Hub is designed to help connect industry strategy with practical implementation by encouraging discussions between manufacturers, recyclers, policymakers, brands and other stakeholders.

Conference Focuses on the Future of Circular Textiles

A two-day conference runs alongside the exhibition, providing a platform for industry leaders, innovators and stakeholders to examine developments shaping textile recycling.

The programme focuses on recycling technologies, industry collaboration, regulatory developments and practical approaches to improving the recovery and reuse of textile materials.

European regulations and growing pressure to reduce textile waste are increasing the need for scalable recycling systems and stronger collaboration across the textile value chain.

Building on a Strong European Launch

Textiles Recycling Expo made its European debut in Brussels in 2025, attracting 3,336 visitors from 67 countries and 126 exhibitors.

The launch edition brought together waste management organisations, recyclers, textile manufacturers and major fashion and retail companies, establishing the event as a specialised international meeting place for textile recycling.

The exhibition has since expanded its industry activities, including the introduction of the Textiles Recycling Awards and greater cooperation with organisations working on textile circularity.
