“Decoding the chemistry behind scalable circularity” - A ZDHC Global Circularity Summit
Join us in Lisbon on 4–5 November 2026 for the ZDHC Circularity Summit 2026 — a first-of-its-kind gathering focused on the role of chemistry in making textile circularity safe, credible and scalable.
Bringing together a global, cross-sector community, the summit will explore what it really takes to move circularity from ambition to implementation across the textile, apparel, leather and footwear sectors.

About the event
While many circularity events stay broad, the ZDHC Circularity Summit will tackle the real barriers to implementation: feedstock quality, contaminants, dyeing and finishing impacts, chemical compliance in recycled outputs, and the practical realities of scaling solutions across the value chain. Bringing together brands, suppliers, chemical formulators, recyclers, innovators, policymakers, finance actors and industry experts, the summit will move the conversation beyond compliance, towards circular systems.
The programme will combine strategic plenaries, expert panels, practical case studies and interactive discussions to unpack the chemistry behind scalable circularity.
When: 4–5 November 2026
Where: MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Av. Brasília, 1300-598 Lisboa, Portugal
Participants can expect:
- Clear insight into why chemistry is critical to safe and credible textile circularity
- Practical discussion on what circularity requires beyond compliance
- Cross-sector perspectives from industry, policy, finance, innovation and implementation
- Dialogue on the risks, opportunities and consequences of inaction
- Actionable takeaways for making circularity work across the value chain
