Future Fabrics Expo 2025 (24th and 25th of June, London), which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, presented an extensive selection of commercially available lower impact materials for fashion, footwear and home products, while showcasing next-gen materials and technologies at various stages of their innovation journey.

Building on last year’s focus on circular materials and technologies, the Expo’s Re-Solve Lab featured innovations around textile-to textile recycling, utilisation of waste materials and by-products, as well as enabling technologies.

With EU and global sustainable and circular textiles regulations looming on the horizon, investment and scale-up of textile-to-textile recycling technologies are gathering momentum. Represented at the Expo were recycling solutions including Ambercycle, BioCulus and Säntis, as well as material innovations including Circulose, Spinnova and Spiber, which already use, or are planning to use, textile waste as a feedstock.
