Scheduled for May 26-28, 2026, the 20th Textile ETP Annual Conference will be held in person at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Hosted in collaboration with Modint, this milestone event will examine the profound impact of digital technologies and data-centric business models on the textile and apparel sectors.
The agenda is focused on how AI, automation, and digitalization can foster growth and competitive advantages for industry stakeholders. Furthermore, the conference will provide essential guidance on the European Union’s regulatory shift, featuring specialized sessions on the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the Digital Product Passport (DPP), and the AI Act.
SAGE will be present at the event thanks to our Textile Circularity use case partners in TEXroadwill host a session on “Data management for circularity”.
Data management for circularity – Details of the session
Digital Product Passports, Extended Producer Responsibility, data, standardization, and digitization — these are frequently used terms, but what do they look like in practice?
Partners from the EU-funded SAGE project, including GS1, atma.io by Avery Dennison, Erion, and TEXroad, explore how the Green Deal Data Space is bridging DPP and EPR digitally — cutting compliance burdens and improving data quality and availability to help drive the circular textile transition.
