RE&UP Contributes to Global Fashion Summit 2026 Circularity Discussion
RE&UP contributed to the global conversation on textile circularity at Global Fashion Summit 2026 in Copenhagen, where Fatih Konukoğlu, Chairman of RE&UP and Vice Chairman of Sanko Holding, took part in both the keynote session “The New Rules” and the panel discussion “A Reckoning and Renewal for Circular Horizons”, alongside leaders from H&M Group, Looper Textile Co. and Sourcing Journal.
During the sessions, Konukoğlu addressed the urgent need for the fashion industry to move from ambition to implementation, highlighting the importance of collaboration, scalable infrastructure and post-consumer textile recycling solutions.
“The problem is too big for anyone to solve alone. We need to work together across the industry. At RE&UP, we are not only talking about solutions – our facilities are operational, our technologies are running, and we are building the infrastructure needed for circular fashion at scale.”
At the Summit, RE&UP shared its approach to textile-to-textile recycling and the development of an integrated circular ecosystem spanning collection, sorting, recycling and resale, designed to help scale circularity across the textile value chain.
