TEXTILE TO TEXTILE: THE ROLE OF RECYCLERS

Textile-to-Textile (T2T) Recycling is a cornerstone of the circular textile economy. Based on insights from recyclers, material innovators, brands, and policymakers, it provides a clear overview of the technologies, materials, and systems driving T2T recycling forward. This topic outlines the current landscape: key feedstocks, regulatory drivers, innovation areas, and ongoing challenges. It also highlights potential progress across the value chain and the potential of T2T to foster a more sustainable and resilient textile industry.

It has been very good! I was expecting only a few visitors but I was really impressed by the quality and quantity of visitors I got yesterday at the fair. First of all, there was a lot of important brands that I was expecting to meet and they were here. I am glad I came, it was very positive and very busy, it was such a full day I didn’t even have time to eat which is very important but business was really great so I am so happy!

Functional Fabric Fair is focused on what I care about. Not fancy booths or large brand booths. They focus on making sure I have brands to show my fabrics to, in an appropriate setting. The educational seminars, certainly help bring in the brands and designers.
