♻️ Thank you for participating in the Nordic-Baltic Textile Circularity Forum 2026!

What a pleasure it was to bring together people from all over Europe in Riga to exchange ideas and experiences about the future of textile circularity.

Thank you to our speakers for bringing knowledge, expertise and lively panel debates on some of the most relevant matters in the textile world today, and for showing the solutions you keep working on to tackle textile waste.

A big thank you also goes to our partners: Lindström for sponsoring the networking reception, and the Riga Investment and Tourism Agency for helping us welcome all attendees to the Latvian capital. The special name tags were made by BOURZMA, and the exhibition space was created with the stands kindly lent by the National Library of Latvia.

Last but not least: a huge thank you to all the participants for making the Forum come alive with your questions, discussions and energy in the sessions and the networking spaces. The conversations and new connections made in Riga are exactly what make gatherings like this so valuable.

We hope the discussions don’t end here. Let’s keep working together towards a more circular textile sector!

⏳ Have you packed your suitcase yet? Just a few days to go!

This Wednesday and Thursday, the Nordic-Baltic Textile Circularity Forum 2026 will bring together innovators, researchers and policymakers in Riga for two days of discussions and practical insights to spark ideas, build collaboration and inspire action.

The Forum is organised by tExtended and the textile circularity project of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Offices in the Baltic countries (Ziemeļvalstu Ministru padomes birojs Latvijā, Šiaurės ministrų tarybos biuras Lietuvoje, Põhjamaade Ministrite Nõukogu esindus Eestis)

But the organization of the event wouldn’t be possible without also the support of our external sponsors: the networking reception Wednesday evening is sponsored by Lindström, and the support of Riga Investment and Tourism Agency (Riga) will help host all attendees in Riga. During the event, the special nametags will be prepared by BOURZMA, and the exhibition space is created with the materials kindly borrowed from the Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka / National Library of Latvia.

📝The first module of the tExtended training materials is online!

As part of our work in tExtended, we are considering which new skills are needed for emerging textile recovery and recycling industries, and for the new needs of the textile manufacturing industries. Therefore, we have created our E-Learning Centre, available on our website, to collect the supporting materials for the development of the new required skills. 📚

In the first module, we focus on the circular economy, with five videos describing different aspects, from the key aspects to the legislative framework, that will help understanding more of what is relevant, what is ongoing, and what is required to reach a circular textile ecosystem.

♻️ From theory to practical textile circulation

tExtended has reached an important milestone, strengthening the basis for how discarded textiles can be routed towards reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling.

Through its Real Scale Demonstrator, tExtended has tested materials and processing routes to refine its classification system and Textendifier tool – helping identify whether textiles are best suited to reuse, remanufacturing or different recycling pathways.

The work brings together factors including material condition, contamination, colour, construction, logistics, infrastructure and output requirements to support more informed routing decisions.

The result? A tested, adapted decision-support tool that can help retain more value in textiles and support the transition towards a more circular textile system.

✨Second Spotlight on the Nordic-Baltic Circularity Forum 2026 sessions!

In the afternoon of October 7, our second panel about tExtended continues sharing Practical Results and Material Solutions developed in the four years of collaborative work in our EU-funded project.

This time, our speakers will share the near-commercial outcomes developed during the project; they will especially focus on experimental collection and sorting methods for reuse, remanufacturing, technical trials of soft mechanical recycling for workwear, the integration of post-consumer recycled content into new home textiles, and social-innovation spin-offs creating souvenirs from textile leftovers.

The panel will be composed by:
- Miira Ojanen, Project Consultant at Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy
- Susanna Raiskio, Research Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
- Koen De Ruyck, General Manager at Purfi Manufacturing
- Paulo Lopes, Raw Material Purchasing and Product Manager at Têxteis J.F.Almeida, S.A.
- Zara Huybens, Innovations and Sustainability Project Leader at De Kringloopwinkel
- Dace Akule, Expert in Textile Circularity at Green Liberty
- Carolina Soares, Project Manager and Researcher at ERT Têxtil Portugal
