16/09/2025 – Techtextil India 2025
Strategic tie-up for launching “ReCycle Zone”
In a major push to advance circularity and environmental accountability, Techtextil India, scheduled from 19th – 21st November 2025 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, will launch the dedicated “ReCycle Zone” in collaboration with the Society of Plastics Engineers India (SPE India).
As industries across the globe adopt circular economy models and sustainable production practices, the “ReCycle Zone” will serve as a vital platform for stakeholders working to transform textile and plastic waste into value-added materials. The initiative reflects Technical India’s ongoing commitment to driving responsible innovation by converging recyclers, solution providers, machinery manufacturers startups and policy enablers under one roof. This new industry focused zone will spotlight sustainable innovation and next-gen recycling technologies.
The “ReCycle Zone” will host companies specialising in:
- Garment, agro-textiles and medical textiles waste recycling
- Plastic and PET waste recycling for textile applications
- Fibre to fibre and yarn regeneration
- Sorting, shredding and advanced recycling machinery
- EPR compliance, traceability and green certifications
- AI and automation in waste management systems
This initiative aims to bridge the gap between innovation and implementation by connecting buyers, suppliers, R&D specialists and sustainability officers. To deepen the technical engagement, SPE India will curate a series of focused knowledge sessions and panel discussions within the “ReCycle Zone”. Experts from academia, policy think tanks and leading corporates will weigh in on topics such as circular product design, industry compliance and mandates, advances in waste recovery, and investment outlook in green tech.
Techtextil India drives green innovation
The launch of the “ReCycle Zone” aligns with India’s national efforts towards sustainable manufacturing, driven by programs like Life (Lifestyle for Environment) and PM Mitra Parks (Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel). As technical textiles play an increasingly important role across sectors such as defence, healthcare, automotive and agriculture, integrating recycling and circular design into their production processes has become essential. The zone further reinforces Messe Frankfurt India’s role in nurturing a sustainable business ecosystem through its leading industry platforms. Techtextil India will mark the 10th edition of India’s most comprehensive exhibition for technical textiles, nonwovens, and composites. Adding momentum to the industry dialogue the India edition of the Dornbirn Global Fibre Conference one of the most prestigious global conferences for fibre and material innovations, will take place on 18th November 2025 also at Nesco, Mumbai – one day prior to Techtextil India show.
