Join global leaders in textiles recycling as the Textiles Recycling Expo returns for its second edition on 24–25 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium. Following an incredible launch in 2025, this free-to-attend, two-day event is back – bigger and better than ever. Bringing together industry pioneers, recyclers, manufacturers, and sustainability experts, the 2026 expo will build on its strong foundation to showcase even more groundbreaking technologies, thought leadership, and opportunities for collaboration.
With a packed conference program, expert-led panels, and an expanded show floor, the Textiles Recycling Expo is the must-attend event for anyone working to transform the future of textiles.
Join us as we present our latest advancement in textile recycling — a high-performance laboratory shredding machine, a piece of equipment for simulating mechanical textile recycling at a miniature scale. It is an ideal solution for R&D and educational purposes, as well as for recycling small lots of textile waste. Like a real production machine, it transforms various types of textiles (yarns, knitted or woven fabrics, unsold or worn garments, etc.) back into their original fiber form to evaluate their recycling properties. Specifically designed for textile-to-textile recycling, it seamlessly integrates with the Mesdan-Lab Mini Spinning line, a real spinning mill in miniature, to produce small lots of short and long staple yarns, designed to assess the spinnability of the recycled fibers obtained.
For the evaluation of virgin and recycled fibers, the Mesdan-Lab range offers various testing equipment for fiber length distribution, neps content, strength & elongation, and opening grade. At the Textiles Recycling Expo, we will present TENSOLAB 4: a versatile tensile strength tester suitable for single-fiber and fiber-bundle analysis of strength, elongation, and tenacity. Be part of the movement and join the leaders shaping a more sustainable industry.
