About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Textiles Recycling Expo USA is a dedicated exhibition and conference focused entirely on textile recycling and circularity in North America. It is described as the definitive meeting point for the entire value chain, spanning fiber-to-fiber technologies and collection systems to brand accountability and circular strategies. The 2027 edition marks the second staging of the event, following the debut show held in Charlotte in 2026.
The expo draws an international audience of key players across the fashion, footwear, and textile value chain, from recyclers and manufacturers to brands, policymakers, and innovators, all under one roof. Alongside the exhibition runs a two-day conference bringing together global thought leaders to discuss the future of textile sustainability, including emerging technologies, circular business models, and the shifting policy landscape.
With California's landmark EPR law for textiles taking effect in October 2024 and other states expected to follow, the show is positioned as a timely place to learn how legislation will reshape the industry and how to prepare. The event is also co-located with the Textiles Manufacturing Expo, and a single ticket grants access to both events, allowing attendees to explore the complete journey of textiles from production and innovation to reuse, recycling, and circularity.
