Event Overview
Textiles Recycling Expo 2026 will welcome Halit Gümüşer, Managing Director of Kipaş Textiles , as a featured speaker in this year’s PCIAW® panel.

Showcasing fibR-e Platform Driving Circular Innovation
Kipaş Textiles, part of Kipaş Holding, has announced that it will participate as a featured speaker at the Textile Recycling Expo 2026, taking place 24–25 June 2026 in Brussels on the PCIAW panel. The international event will bring together leaders from across the textile value chain to address the growing global challenge of textile waste, with a focus on innovative recycling technologies, circular design, and scalable solutions for the future of fashion.
Advancing Circularity Through fibR-e
Kipaş will use the platform to highlight its pioneering fibR-e, the next generation of textile-to-textile polyester recycling platform, a breakthrough system designed to transform complex textile waste into high-quality recycled materials at industrial scale.
The platform addresses one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: the low rate of textile-to-textile recycling, particularly for blended fabrics. By enabling the recycling of mixed and post-consumer waste streams, fibR-e supports a transition from a linear “take-make-dispose” model to a truly circular system.
Industry Collaboration at the Forefront
Halit Gümüşer of Kipaş Textiles will speak during the conference, sharing insights into how collaboration across the supply chain is accelerating real-world progress in textile circularity.
“The shift toward true circularity is a collective effort. I am excited to speak at the Textile Recycling Expo about how our partnerships are driving real-world results. Through the fibR-e platform, we’re not just discussing sustainability—we are actively reducing climate impacts and transforming complex waste into high-value resources. I look forward to exploring these collaborative breakthroughs in Brussels.”
The session will explore how industrial-scale innovation, combined with cross-industry partnerships, is enabling brands and manufacturers to meet increasing regulatory and consumer demands for sustainable production. It will also demonstrate how fibR-e integrates directly into Kipaş’ supply chain, allowing recycled materials to be produced at commercial volumes without compromising quality or performance.
As global pressure mounts to reduce textile waste and carbon emissions, Kipaş Textiles continues to position itself at the forefront of sustainable transformation—turning waste into value and helping redefine the future of the textile industry.
