TEXTILE RECYCLING

Next-Gen Textile Recycling: Building a Viable Value Chain
15 -16 March 2027, Antwerp, Belgium
Next-Gen Textile Recycling: Building a Viable Value Chain

Textile Recycling Summit, supported by EURATEX, unites leading brands, recyclers, policymakers, and innovators to explore how design, regulation, and technology can drive Europe’s transition to a circular textile economy.

The summit will cover every link in the textile recycling value chain — from sorting and recycling to design and business models.

Europe’s textile sector is at a critical turning point. From 2025, all EU countries must collect textiles separately — a major milestone for circularity. Yet EPR schemes, limited infrastructure, and complex materials still hinder progress. The Focus Day will tackle these challenges, turning policy ambition into practical, scalable solutions.
Through collaboration and case studies, the event aims to accelerate Europe’s transition to a truly circular textile economy — one that learns from past challenges and builds a sustainable future for business and the planet.

KEY TOPICS

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: EPR, ESPR and EU Harmonisation
Demystify upcoming EU directives, including ESPR recycled content mandates and the June 2027 Waste Framework Directive deadline. Unpack practical strategies of operating across national Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, aligning with End-of-Waste rules, and implementing Digital Product Passports (DPP) across a unified European market.
Financing the Circular Transition: Investment, Scaling, and Strategic Partnerships
Bridge the "Valley of Death" between demonstration plants and commercial-scale facilities. Discover how private equity, EU Green Deal grants, and EPR subsidies can effectively support European operational costs and infrastructure development.
Next-Generation Infrastructure: Automated Sorting, Pre-Processing, and Feedstock Standardisation
Build the automated, technology-driven hubs required to process massive volumes of textile waste. Explore the latest advancements in AI-driven optical sorting, mechanical trim removal, and chemical decontamination.
Technological Breakthroughs in Fibre Processing and High-Quality Yarn Production
Overcome the technical complexities of recycling mixed post-consumer waste blends, dyes, and chemical additives. Explore the latest developments in multi-stage chemical depolymerisation and innovative approaches to ensuring optimal fibre uniformity, mitigating production risks for industrial spinners and weavers.
Expanding Circularity: Cross-Industry Opportunities and Alternative Markets
Extend the scope of circular textiles beyond fashion into high-value and high-volume industrial sectors. Discover new market opportunities driven by End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations (ELVR) in automotive interiors, Green Public Procurement for high-performance technical fabrics, and mass-scale open-loop repurposing of non-spinnable fibres.
