Educational World Tour
NEW YORK CITY | AMSTERDAM | 8–9 DECEMBER 2026
Our in-person training program focused on textile-to-textile circularity systems and recycling infrastructure is coming to the US and Europe.
Early bird tickets until October 18th 2026
A two-day workshop for cross-functional alignment in textile-to-textile circularity. Now in two cities
Textiles are too good to waste. Turning them back into raw materials takes systems — collection, sorting, recycling, and the supply chains that connect them. Those systems are being built now, and the people who understand how they work are the ones who will shape them.
That is what the Educational World Tour is for.
Textile-to-Textile Circularity Foundations is our signature workshop: two days for cross-functional alignment in textile-to-textile circularity.
This December, we run it in two cities on the same dates — New York City and Amsterdam, December 8–9, 2026. The same program in both, and a first in this format.
This interactive, hands-on workshop provides practical, foundational knowledge on how textile-to-textile systems work today, including feedstock collection and sorting, recycling technologies, supply chain realities, and implementation challenges.
It combines industry insight, real-world examples, collaborative discussion, and interactive learning.
Who it is for
The program is designed for professionals across fashion, textiles, design, sustainability, sourcing, materials, product development, production, and merchandising.
It is also open to anyone interested in building foundational knowledge of how textile-to-textile circularity systems function today.
Bring your whole squad
Circularity is a relay, not a solo sport. When design, sourcing, sustainability, and production hold different pieces of the picture, decisions stall between them.
Bring a cross-functional team and leave with a shared language. Register 3 participants from one company and the 4th attends free.
What you will learn
The current state of textile waste and circular systems
How textile-to-textile recycling works in practice
Feedstock collection, sorting, and preprocessing realities
Mechanical, thermomechanical, and chemical recycling 101
Supply chain and stakeholder dynamics
Real-world infrastructure constraints and opportunities
Material considerations, quality challenges, and implementation barriers
Collaborative approaches and action planning
The workshop includes interactive discussions, exercises, and real-world scenarios grounded in current industry conditions.
