Following the success of its inaugural 2026 event, Textiles Recycling Expo USA is inviting industry experts, innovators, researchers and thought leaders to submit speaker proposals for its 2027 conference, taking place April 7–8 at the Charlotte Convention Center, North Carolina. 

The call for speakers is now open as organizers begin building the program for the second edition of Textiles Recycling Expo USA, North America’s dedicated exhibition and conference focused on textile recycling and circularity.

Structural Partner, Accelerating Circularity is working closely with the organizers to help identify key industry challenges and ensure the program reflects the priorities and conversations shaping the sector.  

Along with addressing the core continuing impact of evolving legislation, infrastructure, and technology on the textiles recycling industry, the event is also expanding their focus to explore the role of re-use and repair, and the responsibilities the US textiles industry has to countries in the global south.

The 2027 conference is seeking speakers with expertise across areas including: 

• EPR & the New Compliance Landscape 
• Sorting Technology: The Bottleneck and the Fix 
• Fiber-to-Fiber Recycling & Recycled Fiber End Markets 
• Collection Infrastructure & Reverse Logistics 
• Reuse, Resale & Repair as the First Circular Loop 
• Traceability, Brand Accountability & Circular Business Models – NEW for 2027
• Global Trade Flows: Burdens, Opportunities & Accountability in the Global South – NEW for 2027  

Textiles Recycling Expo USA provides speakers with the opportunity to share their expertise with an international audience of brands, recyclers, manufacturers, technology providers, policymakers, researchers and industry professionals. 

Conference submissions are now open, and industry professionals with relevant expertise are encouraged to submit their proposals.
