Brussels, December 10, 2025
The Textiles Recycling Expo will take place on June 24–25, 2026, at Brussels Expo, marking its second edition as Europe’s leading event dedicated exclusively to textile recycling and circular fashion innovations. Organized by AMI, the expo gathers industry leaders, policymakers, recyclers, and brands to drive sustainable textile solutions.
Event Overview
Scheduled for late June 2026, the Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels builds on the success of its inaugural 2025 edition, which attracted over 3,300 attendees and more than 125 exhibitors. The two-day event is held at Brussels Expo and organized by AMI, an established organizer in sustainable materials and textile industries across Europe.
Focus on Textile Recycling and Circular Fashion
The expo’s primary focus is on innovative textile recycling technologies, showcasing reclaimed fibers and fabrics designed to close the loop on textile consumption. It serves as a pivotal platform for presenting breakthroughs in circular fashion, enabling fashion brands and textile manufacturers to explore and implement best practices in sustainability.
Conference and Industry Dialogue
Alongside the exhibition, a two-day conference facilitates high-level discussions among stakeholders including brand representatives, technology providers, policymakers, and recyclers. This forum encourages collaboration on policy development and practical strategies to reduce textile waste and promote circular economy principles in the textile sector.
Significance in the European Sustainable Textile Landscape
As the only event in Europe entirely dedicated to textile recycling, the Brussels expo plays a critical role in advancing sustainable practices within the fashion and textile industries. It addresses the pressing industry challenge of textile waste while fostering innovation in reclaiming textile resources, thereby supporting environmental goals and regulatory frameworks on circularity.
Future Fabrics Expo Clarification
Although the Future Fabrics Expo is a known global platform showcasing sustainable textiles, current public information does not confirm a separate Future Fabrics Expo event in Brussels for 2026. The Textiles Recycling Expo, however, incorporates relevant future fabric trends within its broader focus, making it the key sustainability-centered textile event in the region for that year.
The 2026 Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels represents an urgent and essential convergence point for industry and policymakers to accelerate textile circularity and sustainable innovation, responding to growing environmental and societal demands within the fashion and textile sectors.
