Brussels, 20/11/2025 – EURATEX – the European Apparel and Textile Confederation – is delighted to announce its official partnership with the Textiles Recycling Expo 2026, taking place on 24–25 June 2026 at Brussels Expo, Belgium.
Following its successful participation as part of the Industry Alliance Hub at the 2025 launch edition, EURATEX now strengthens its collaboration with the event as an official partner, reinforcing a shared commitment to driving circularity and sustainability across the European textile value chain.
Representing Europe’s textile and clothing industry, EURATEX acts as the voice of nearly 200,000 European companies employing 1.3 million people and generating €170 billion in turnover. The organisation works closely with EU institutions and industry stakeholders to shape a competitive, innovative, and sustainable European textile ecosystem — from raw materials to finished products, across all segments of the value chain.
“Circular transformation can only succeed if all parts of our industry move forward together”, says Dirk Vantyghem, EURATEX Director General. “The Textiles Recycling Expo provides a unique space for collaboration across the value chain — from fibre producers to recyclers and brands. EURATEX is proud to partner with this initiative to accelerate practical solutions and make Europe a global leader in circular textiles.”
Building on a highly successful debut event that welcomed 3,300+ attendees and 125 exhibitors, the Textiles Recycling Expo 2026 will expand its show floor and programme, featuring dedicated conference sessions, live demonstrations, and the collaborative Industry Alliance Hub – where EURATEX will once again play a pivotal role.
“We are thrilled to welcome EURATEX as an official partner for 2026,” said Zied Chetoui, Exhibition Manager at AMI. “EURATEX represents the collective strength and ambition of Europe’s textile industry, and their continued collaboration reinforces the importance of uniting all parts of the value chain to make circularity a reality. Together, we’re shaping an even stronger platform for knowledge exchange, partnership, and industry transformation.”
Together, EURATEX and Textiles Recycling Expo aim to showcase progress, foster collaboration, and accelerate Europe’s journey towards a more circular textile industry.
