UKFT

The Textiles Recycling Expo is excited to announce it’s partnership with UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT), further strengthening its mission to drive circularity in the textiles industry.

As the leading platform for the UK fashion and textile sector, UKFT plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable practices, innovation, and industry collaboration. This partnership will help amplify the impact of the Textiles Recycling Expo, bringing together key stakeholders, businesses, and experts dedicated to advancing textile recycling solutions.

The Textiles Recycling Expo is a free-to-attend, premier event showcasing the latest innovations in textile recycling, shredding, sorting, and machinery. With an insightful conference programme, developed in collaboration with Structural Partner ReHubs, and extensive networking opportunities, the event provides a unique platform for industry professionals to exchange ideas and explore new initiatives.

“By partnering with the Textiles Recycling Expo we aim to expand our impact by supporting initiatives that extend the lifecycle of textiles and promote a circular economy.”

UKFT’s work with ACT UK (Automatic-sorting for Circularity in Textiles) and CFIN (Circular Fashion Innovation Network) has laid a strong foundation in advancing circularity within the UK fashion and textile industries. Through these projects, they have built an extensive network of stakeholders committed to rethinking waste and fostering innovation in material reuse.

“This new partnership with the Textiles Recycling Expo enables us to expand on that progress, driving greater collaboration between industry players, policymakers and sustainability advocates.”

Our event's success is made possible by the invaluable support of our partners. We extend our gratitude to every association, organisation, and network that has joined forces with us, united by a shared commitment to achieving circularity and promoting sustainable practices within the textile industry.
