Textiles Recycling Expo is proud to announce the launch of the Textiles Recycling Awards, a brand-new initiative designed to celebrate innovation, leadership, and measurable impact in textile recycling and circularity. Where: Brussels Expo, Belgium When: 24–25 June 2026 Awards Ceremony: 25 June at 2 PM (Conference Theatre)

The Awards aim to recognise the people, companies, and collaborations driving meaningful change — from pioneering recycling technologies to creative circular fashion models. It’s about highlighting the innovators who are proving that sustainability and growth can go hand in hand.

Award Categories:

• Retailer of the Year – Honouring retailers leading the way in circular fashion practices. • Product of the Year – Celebrating the most innovative and sustainable product designs. • Textile Collection & Sorting Award – Recognising effective and scalable textile collection or sorting schemes. • Textile Recycling Project of the Year – For outstanding initiatives advancing large-scale textile recycling. • Innovation in Recycling Technology Award – Showcasing breakthroughs in recycling machinery, equipment, or processes. • Rising Star Award – Highlighting emerging leaders making a real difference in textile reuse and recycling.

Award submissions close: 13 March 2026

In addition to entering, organisations can amplify their presence through sponsorship opportunities. Sponsoring an award category provides a unique platform to align your brand with circular innovation, sustainability, and excellence — and gain visibility across global marketing campaigns and at the live event.

“The Textiles Recycling Awards are about shining a light on the people and projects pushing the boundaries,” said Zied Chetoui, Exhibition Manager, Textiles Recycling Expo.

“As the industry moves toward a more circular future, it’s essential to recognise those leading the way — and to inspire others to follow.”
