Cellulose Fibres Conference 2025 – Fibre-to-Fibre Recycling from Textiles
12-13 March 2025 – hybrid event (on site and online), Cologne (Germany)
++ Preliminary program released ++
The upcoming conference on 12-13 March 2025 in Cologne, Germany, will pave pathways to a sustainable textile industry
 |
Over the past few weeks, the Conference Advisory Board, and the experts from the nova-Institute, have thoroughly reviewed and evaluated over 40 submitted abstracts. The selected external experts bring new insights and perspectives from the pulp, fibre and further developing industries, promising to spark and deepen discussions at the event. Their expertise across the entire fibre value chain will enrich the topics covered and ensure a dynamic and insightful exchange of ideas. The presentations will provide a platform for the discussion at the conference after each session, and the Advisory Board members will foster a lively debate to drive innovation industry-wide. |
Today's Focus: Fibre-to-Fibre Recycling from Textiles – A Path to a Sustainable Textile Industry.
- Shirin Asaadi, Valmet (FI): Navigating the Complexities of Textile Recycling: Industrial Scale-Up Challenges and Solutions
- Sari Asikainen and Virpi Rämö, Kemira (FI): Decolorization of Waste Textiles – Comparison of Bleaching Chemistries
- Miguel Sanchis Sebastiá, ShareTex (SE): Project: REGATEX-Project Scaling up a Chemical Recycling Process for Textile Waste
- Judith Günther, LIST Technology (CH): Technology for Recycling of (Poly)cotton and Enabling Polyester-free
A Path to a Sustainable Textile Industry. The textile industry is at a crucial crossroad. The need for sustainable solutions to meet the EU's ambitious climate change targets is becoming increasingly urgent. Fibre-to-fibre recycling, which transforms discarded textiles into new, virgin fibres, holds great promise for reducing waste and resource consumption and helps to close the loop in textile production. While Europe has made progress in this area, challenges remain – in particular the management of mixed fibre textiles and the scaling up of recycling technologies. As new approaches are needed to tackle climate change, one session of the conference will focus on fibre-to-fibre recycling from textiles, exploring the latest innovations and technological advances, as well as the opportunities and barriers that need to be addressed to move the industry towards a circular, sustainable future. The session will present leading large-scale, state-of-the-art engineering and service solutions and up to date recycling technologies for mixed textile fibres.
