ReHubs and AMI Reunite to Shape the 2026 Textiles Recycling Expo Conference!

Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2025, AMI and ReHubs are proud to announce the continuation of their partnership for the Textiles Recycling Expo 2026, taking place on 24–25 June 2026 at Brussels Expo, Belgium.

After a groundbreaking first edition that brought together over 3,300 attendees, 125 exhibitors, and 56 speakers from across the global textiles recycling value chain, the partnership between ReHubs and AMI proved to be an integral force in shaping the event’s success. As a Structural Partner in 2025, ReHubs played a pivotal role in curating a forward-thinking conference programme that reflected the key priorities and challenges of the industry. Its members were represented across the exhibition floor as both exhibitors and speakers, contributing to dynamic conversations and collaborative initiatives driving textile circularity across Europe.

“ReHubs is pleased to continue as the Strategic Partner to the Textiles Recycling Expo,” said Robert van de Kerkhof, CEO of ReHubs. “With the recent launch of our updated strategy and the ambitious goal to recycle 2.5 million tons of textile waste annually by 2032, events like the Textiles Recycling Expo play a critical role in connecting stakeholders in person to exchange knowledge, kickstart collaboration and accelerate ecosystem transformation.”

The partnership extended beyond the show itself, with ReHubs taking part in the pre-event press conference in Brussels, where Robert van de Kerkhof joined industry leaders from Fedustria, EURATEX, and EuRIC to discuss the future of textile circularity in Europe. Looking ahead, ReHubs will once again collaborate with AMI to help shape the 2026 conference programme, ensuring it continues to reflect the needs, challenges, and ambitions of an industry entering a critical phase of transformation.

With an expanded floorplan, new showfloor features, and even greater participation from global stakeholders, Textiles Recycling Expo 2026 is set to be the largest and most influential meeting point for the international textiles recycling community.

The organisers are now inviting industry experts, innovators, and thought leaders to submit proposals to speak at the 2026 Textiles Recycling Expo Conference, taking place 24–25 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium. This is an opportunity to share insights, case studies, and breakthroughs that are shaping the future of textile circularity and recycling.

Submissions are open until 19 December 2025, and selected speakers will join a global platform of industry leaders curated in collaboration with ReHubs.
