As the world prepares to observe the International Day of Zero Waste on March 30, 2025, the spotlight turns to the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the textile industry. Led by UNEP and UN-Habitat, this year’s theme, “Towards Zero Waste in Fashion and Textiles,” marks a historic first, emphasizing the critical role of waste reduction and circularity in shaping a sustainable future.
In line with this mission, the Textiles Recycling Expo, set for June 4-5 in Brussels, Belgium, will serve as a key platform for industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to drive change in textile recycling and circular economies. Brussels, at the core of Europe’s sustainability efforts, will host crucial discussions shaping global policies and industry standards. Tickets are free to attend and available now.
The textile industry remains one of the world’s most waste-intensive sectors, with millions of tonnes of clothing and fabric discarded annually. As UN-Habitat calls for collective action, businesses embracing zero-waste initiatives are positioning themselves for resilience and success in an increasingly eco-conscious market.
The Textiles Recycling Expo 2025 offers an unparalleled opportunity to be part of this transformation. Attendees will explore cutting-edge recycling technologies, pioneering circular solutions, and the latest regulatory insights. The event will feature expert-led panels, industry networking, and discussions designed to accelerate sustainable progress in textile waste reduction.
As International Day of Zero Waste approaches, brands, organizations, and policymakers must take decisive steps toward a zero-waste future. Join the Textiles Recycling Expo 2025 to be part of the conversation shaping the next era of sustainable textiles.
