A circular product does not begin in the end result, but the building blocks that make up. On the Circular Textile Days 2024, Thermore, The Connector and YKK showed that there are real sustainability in detail: feed materials, closures and intelligent connections that enable circular thinking – and make it scalable.
Circular textile Days: Where the entire supply chain comes together
On September 10 and 11, 2025, the next issue of the Circular Textile Days will take place-an international B2B event in which all members of the textile supply chain come together to exchange knowledge, to present innovations and to strengthen cooperation. From fiber producers to brands to recycling companies and solution providers: The focus is on the connection within the supply chain. Because only together can real system change be reached.
From the secondary location to the decisive factor
Fabrics, accessories and subassemblies (semi -finished products) are often overlooked in sustainable design. But without dismantling compounds, recyclable foods or reusable zippers, circular design remains only half a step. On the Circular Textile Days 2024, three companies showed what is already possible – and what is still needed.
- Thermore Develop circular feed materials that are light, functional and completely recyclable – ideal for brands that not only want to show sustainability on the outside.
- The Connector Building modular fashion on the future. Your intelligent connection systems enable dismantling, repairable and reusable clothing – in the sense of Design for Disassembly (dismantling -friendly design).
- YKK, World market leader in the field of locking systems, works on zippers that fully fit in circular models. Whether monomaterials or new locking techniques – this company proves that even the smallest components can have great effect.
It is not without reason that YKK also returns to the Circular Textile Days in 2025
For an established actor like YKK, repeated participation is no coincidence: it shows that the Circular Textile Days attract the right audience and offer a depth of content. It is the place where the designer, producer and solution providers come together to take the next step together in circular product design.
It starts with the design
Circularity requires holistic thinking: How are products set up and how can they be easily disassembled, repair or recycled? These questions were the focus of the discussions on the trade fair area and in the technical specialist sessions.
The topic of design will also be in focus in 2025
Modular designs, intelligent semi -finished products and circular components are no longer a niche – they form the basis for future -oriented designs. Brands that take this step are really developing sustainable collections.
Are you active in the area of feed, closures or technical accessories?
Then the Circular Textile Days are the ideal place to make their solutions visible and to get in touch directly with leading heads in the industry.
