For the first time at PRS ME&A 2026, a dedicated zone reveals how plastic waste is being reimagined as the next generation of textile materials. The Plastics to Textile Recycled Products Zone debuts as a bold new platform showcasing the transformation of post-consumer plastics—especially PET—into fashion-ready fibres, yarns, fabrics and finished textile products.

What the Zone Covers

The Plastics to Textile Recycled Products Zone brings together end-to-end technologies and solutions that convert PET bottles into recycled polyester (rPET) yarns and downstream textile products supplied to converters and brands. Featured Technologies Include:

● PET shredders and granulators for flake production

● Optical and magnetic sorting systems for material purity and colour control

● Advanced washing and decontamination lines

● Trommel screens and size separation systems

● PET melt spinning lines for fibre and yarn production

● Dyeing and finishing equipment for yarns and fabrics

Who should exhibit?

➔ Recycling machinery manufacturers

➔ Fibre and yarn production technology providers

➔ Textile processing and finishing equipment suppliers

➔ Automation, quality control and material testing solution providers

Who will visit?

➔ Plastic recyclers

➔ Textile and garment manufacturers

➔ Apparel and home textile brands

➔ Sustainability and sourcing teams

➔ Investors and project developers

By connecting plastics recycling with textile manufacturing under one dedicated platform, the Plastics to Textile Recycled Products Zone highlights how circularity is moving from concept to commercial reality. From post-consumer waste to fashion-ready materials, this zone demonstrates the technologies, partnerships and scale required to build resilient, future-ready textile supply chains—powered by recycled plastics.
