Creating a more sustainable textile system requires practical, large-scale solutions. TexMat solution is exploring how a deposit-return system for used clothing can help Europe improve textile collection, reuse, and recycling while encouraging greater consumer participation.

PROPLANET would like to invite you to the workshop “SSbD in Practice: Current Status, Critical Barriers and Success Cases”, taking place on 20 April 2026, from 09:00 to 13:00. The workshop will focus on how Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) is applied in practice, bringing together perspectives from industry, research community, and policy makers.

Join the 21st public webinar of ECOSYSTEX, and hear about EU-funded textile sustainability projects FABRIX, SorTex, CIRTECHTEX, and CISUTAC.

Join the webinar to discover what tExtended have worked on about sorting technologies and methodologies, and to see what happens to textile waste after the sorting phase.

This second webinar in the SUBBIMATT series will explore the development and characterization of negative thermoresponsive (NTR) hydrogels for smart textile applications. These materials can respond to temperature changes by altering their physical properties, enabling the design of adaptive and functional textiles.

Building on the CISUTAC Practical Guide and Checklist for Key Data for Reuse, Repair and Recycling, the session will share practical insights from CISUTAC partners involved in the sorting pilot. This pilot focuses on improving textile sorting for reuse and recycling through a semi-automated decision-support tool that supports better assessment and classification of used textiles.

Join the 20th public webinar of ECOSYSTEX, and hear about EU-funded textile sustainability projects Hemp4Circularity, TRUSTex, VERDEinMED, and LIFE POLITEX.

Explore breakthrough advancements in PFAs-free coatings developed under the PROPLANET project, paving the way for safer applications in packaging, textiles, and glass.

This event marks the culmination of three years of work dedicated to lay out a circular value chain for hemp as a high-value textile material by 2027, rooted in the North-West European flax processing industry.

For the occasion, Irantzu Garmendia, from the European Commission’s Joint Research Center, will present the revised framework, that was published in December 2025, and that is expected to play a key role in accelerating the transition towards safe and sustainable materials, products and processes.

INTEGRANO is pleased to present its first webinar focused on the revised Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) Framework, offering an in-depth overview and key insights directly from leading experts in the field.

As part of the EU-funded CRAFT-IT4SD project, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has assessed selected models using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in four textile ecosystems across Denmark, Finland, Romania, and Spain.

Join the 19th public webinar of ECOSYSTEX, and hear about EU-funded textile sustainability projects SOLSTICE, REDOL, ECHT, and INTEGRANO

On 13 January 2026, PESCO-UP will organise an in-person event in Brussels, “Digital Product Passports: the Golden Thread Through Textile Recycling?”, aiming to unpack the potential of the DPP to enable more traceable, transparent and sustainable textile recycling value chains.

Join TRUSTex and craft-IT4SD projects for a focused webinar exploring sustainable business models, sufficiency and extended producer responsibility approach in the textile industry.

The current policy and industry landscape presents a paradox, as textile circular models need to address the problems of linear business practices while at the same time competing with them on the market. This webinar will explore the current landscape of circular business models for textiles, key market trends, the challenges these businesses face and the measures needed to overcome them and unlock their potential.

The objective of the webinar is to share information, knowledge, and experiences regarding the evolving landscape of European Commission and Member State regulations and standards impacting the circularity of the fashion, clothing, and textiles sectors.

The third webinar in the CISUTAC Sustainability Forum series will explore the latest EU policy developments shaping textile circularity. As the European Union accelerates its transition toward a circular economy, several key regulatory initiatives are set to transform how textiles are designed, produced, and managed throughout their lifecycle.

The ZeroF project, a collaboration of 12 European partners funded by the EU and SERI, is holding its final event in Barcelona on 20 November to present three years of research on safe and sustainable PFAS-free alternatives for food packaging and upholstery textiles.

Explore circular economy breakthroughs in the textile sector of Prato, Italy, with three dynamic sessions and a guided visit, offering deep insights into innovative pilot projects, policy discussions, and collaborative actions shaping a more sustainable future for textiles.

Join the 18th public webinar of ECOSYSTEX, and hear about EU-funded textile sustainability projects PROPLANET, Zero F and RegioGreenTex.

Participants will explore innovative approaches to plastic recycling, cross-sector collaboration, and sustainable industry transformation. With a special focus on the textile industry, the event will provide practical insights into current challenges and opportunities while fostering networking and collaboration across Europe.

In this 1st webinar, CENTEXBEL partners will present the SUBBIMATT Project. The SUBBIMATT Project will develop biobased and bioinspired sustainable Smart Textile Materials to address current and future energy needs.

On 28 October 2025 (10:00–12:00 CET, online), SUSTRACK, in collaboration with the European Bioeconomy Network (EuBioNet), will host its final event “Projects2Projects: showcasing key results, inspiring new opportunities”.

This session marks the official launch of the Skills & Education Working Group within ECOSYSTEX. We will spotlight three Erasmus+ projects driving forward innovation in training, education, and skills for the Textile, Clothing, Leather and Footwear (TCLF) sectors.

Join RegioGreenTex in Mechelen for a day of insights, exchanges, and concrete actions shaping the circular future of Europe’s textile industry.

Consumers play a crucial role in the transition from a linear to a circular textile system. in this webinar, CISUTAC partners will share key insights from recent studies and hands-on actions in second-hand use, repair, and textile donation.
