Tilburg: where textile history meets circular futures

For over a century, the city was a centre of Dutch textile production, a legacy that still shapes its identity. Today, Tilburg brings together circular manufacturers, recyclers, research institutes and innovation hubs driving the transition forward.

That makes it a natural home for Circular Textile Days.

As we connect the full textile value chain, from materials to reuse and recycling, Tilburg provides the expertise, infrastructure and ambition to turn circularity into practice.

Tilburg is not just where we meet.

It is where circular textiles move from ambition to application.
