As the global textile industry faces mounting pressure to adopt sustainable and circular solutions, the organisers of the upcoming Textiles Recycling Expo will host a key press conference in Brussels on May 6, 2025. This pre-event gathering aims to inform and engage media, stakeholders, and policymakers ahead of the highly anticipated expo and conference scheduled for June 4-5 in Brussels, Belgium.
The press conference will highlight the urgent need for innovation, collaboration, and regulatory progress in textile recycling and circular economy strategies. Zied Chetoui, Event Manager of the Textiles Recycling Expo, will open the session, outlining the expo’s vision and its vital role in addressing the industry's major challenges.
Attendees will hear from leading industry figures, including Karla Basselier, CEO of Fedustria; Julia Ettinger, Secretary General of EuRIC; Dirk Vantyghem, Director General of Euratex; and a representative from ReHubs. These speakers will share insights into upcoming policy shifts, collaborative efforts, and the industry’s evolving landscape.
Set in Brussels, a hub for European policymaking and sustainability initiatives, the press conference will also align with the International Day of Zero Waste and EU Green Week. The event is open to both in-person and virtual participants and will provide an early look at the conference programme, key partnerships, and the broader vision for accelerating textile circularity.
Organised by AMI, a leading event and publishing firm specialising in recycling, the Textiles Recycling Expo is poised to become a central platform for showcasing global innovation. AMI’s portfolio includes renowned recycling expos across Europe, the USA, and India, as well as expert publications like Plastics Recycling World and TextilesLoop.
