All major industry leaders have expressed their strong support to the maiden edition of Textiles Recycling Expo USA, set to launch on April 29-30, 2026, at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Following a successful European launch in Brussels earlier this year, many exhibitors are committed to the US event, hoping to attract the same high-quality international visitors.
The exhibitor list includes industry players like Syre, Beyond Retro, Bank & Vogue, Valerius, Circ, and Debrand. As a Founding Exhibitor, Syre's participation is particularly significant, as the company prepares to open its new plant in North Carolina. The plant will have the capacity to produce 10,000 metric tons of circular polyester annually and is backed by major retailers like H&M, Target, Gap, and Houdini Sportswear.
The event is being sponsored by AATCC, with ReJu sponsoring a dedicated VIP area,
The expo has also partnered with leading associations to shape the event's content. It has roped in Accelerating Circularity as a Structural Partner, to help design a conference program that addresses the industry's most critical challenges and solutions. SMART (Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association) has joined as a Founding Partner, lending its expertise and network to promote best practices and industry-wide collaboration.
Other supporters include the Southern Textile Association, Fashion Takes Action, and the North American Linen Association.
The expo will feature a showcase of pioneering technologies and services, along with an open conference theater hosting expert-led panels, keynote speeches, and in-depth discussions. This platform is designed to facilitate knowledge exchange and drive the shift toward a circular textiles economy.
