Textile Exchange Conference 2026 Side Meeting
Join us at Textile Exchange Conference 2026 for our side session: "The Bankability Gap: What Textile-To-Textile Recycling Needs To Secure Funding."
Where: Meeting Room 2, Vancouver Convention Center
When: October 15, 08:45–09:45
The technology to recycle textiles into textiles exists. The challenge now is making the business case to get the money to scale it. Accelerating Circularity presents findings from its new report on systemic bankability, before bringing industry stakeholders to the table to unpack the factors that make the sector investable: from long-term offtake agreements to capital expenditure for new infrastructure, and feedstock price parity. Built for anyone who signs off on sourcing, capital, or investment decisions, the session closes by giving those in the audience a chance to ask questions.
Speakers:
Edd Denes, CEO at Accelerating Circularity.
Kirsi Roine - Sr. Director Business Operations at Accelerating Circularity.
Sarah Coulter, Americas Program Director at Accelerating Circularity.
Erik Lagerblad, CEO at Looper Textile Co.
Meredith Boyd, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer at UNIFI®.
