Future Fabrics Expo is the largest showcase dedicated exclusively to sourcing sustainably and responsibly-produced, best-practice and certified materials for the fashion, footwear, home, interiors & lifestyle. Since 2011, Future Fabrics Expo has traditionally taken place in London, with smaller FFE editions and curations held in New York and Paris. A collaborative approach has proven to be a winning formula, particularly in 2025 with our successful global partnership with Performance Days fairs, which hosted Future Fabrics Expo’s Innovation Hub in New York, Shanghai, Portland (OR), and Munich. As one of their biggest milestones to date, Future Fabrics Expo 2026 in Brussels — coinciding with the Textiles Recycling Expo —marks the next step in extending our global reach and catalysing the adoption of sustainable material practices, continuing our role as an essential resource of sustainable sourcing solutions for brands, organizations, and suppliers.
What to Expect:
Future Fabrics Expo will keep the same visual identity and visitor experience, over 10,000 materials displayed from around 150 exhibitors, curated areas, open-source educational content and knowledge sharing — all signature to Future Fabrics Expo’s unique sourcing experience since 2011.
Expect the same expansive scale and open layout on over 3300m2 of venue space, happening alongside Textiles Recycling Expo. Returning for its second edition, Textiles Recycling Expo offers a premier platform to showcase the latest innovations in T2T solutions, thought leadership, and collaboration opportunities.
Even more visitors, exhibitors, and solutions to explore. Visitors can meet best practice pioneering mills and exhibitors in their own booths.
Our popular Seminar Series and the Innovation Hub will also return, as well as specially curated display areas and installations such as: the Innovation Hive (a dedicated showcase featuring emerging innovators); the Home, Interiors & Lifestyle area; the Footwear Hub; focus on circularity; and a dedicated Regenerative Agriculture Area.
We will also have the opportunity to showcase some of the leading solutions and innovations coming out of the UK and to champion this work on an international stage.
Free ticketing, plus visitors can access both shows over two days in the same venue (with separate registrations, each valid for both events).
