TEXTILE RECYCLING FOCUS DAY

Next-Gen Textile Recycling: Building a Viable Value Chain
24 March 2026, Mannheim, Germany
Next-Gen Textile Recycling: Building a Viable Value Chain

For the first time, the Go Circular Summit will host a full-day Textile Recycling Focus Day, supported by EURATEX. This new addition 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 Focus Day 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.

Go Circular is a great opportunity to connect with players across the circularity industry. Despite the challenging environment, the discussions at the event have a positive twist and are of high quality. I recommend attending or teaming up with Globuc.
