Textile ETP at the first-ever Textiles Recycling Fair

On 4-5 June 2025, Textile ETP participated in the first-ever Textiles Recycling Expo, a event dedicated to tackling the urgent challenge of textile waste. The expo brought together pioneering solutions in the recycling of fabrics, clothing, footwear, fibres, and non-wovens, marking a significant step toward a more circular and sustainable textile sector.

Our Secretary General, Lutz Walter, moderated a session focused on EU funding for textile circularity, which featured insights from ECOSYSTEX initiatives such as the T-REX and RegioGreenTex projects, highlighting impactful collaborations and funding opportunities shaping the future of textile recycling.

Meanwhile, Tilla Kross, Sustainability Programmes Officer, and Charlotte Denis, Communications Manager, explored the expo floor. They engaged with exhibitors showcasing breakthrough recycling technologies, met with EURATEX members, and connected with partners from EU projects including CISUTAC, PESCO-UP, and SOLSTICE.

What a great first edition it has been, and we are already looking forward to the 2nd edition scheduled for 24–25 June 2026!
