Nordic-Baltic Textile Circularity Forum 2026, Latvia

The Nordic-Baltic Textile Circularity Forum 2026 takes place on 7-8 October 2026 in Riga. The event will explore circular textile solutions, recycling, and systemic change through discussions and workshops focused on European and Nordic-Baltic cooperation.

Ivars Šmits, Managing Director of Lindström Latvia will participate in the event,  sharing real, hands-on examples of how we extend the life of textiles through a service-based business model – repair, reuse and responsible end-of-life solutions. Ivars also contributes as an Ambassador of the Circular Economy Institute, turning circular thinking into practical action.

Join tExtended’s session on the afternoon of October 8, to hear more on the topic: “Innovators and Startups Redesigning the Value Chain”. Here, practitioners will present approaches to circularity across different segments of the value chain from automated collection and sorting to repair, commercial reuse platforms, digital product passport integration, R-strategies, and fiber-to-fiber recycling technologies.
