For generations, the textile industry has been synonymous with environmental challenges. Today, it is at the forefront of change, embracing sustainability, circularity, and social responsibility. Regulatory shifts, consumer awareness, and global disruptions have accelerated this transformation, reshaping supply chains, business models, and production techniques.

Launched in 2022, the Textile Printing & Sustainability Conference (TPS) explores three pivotal areas:

• Circular Economy
• Bio-Based Dyes and Fibers
• Digital Technology

TPS unites experts from inkjet and screen printing to examine the trends shaping the textile market – from on-demand fashion and responsible production to customisation and personalisation. Participants share insights, explore new applications, and debate the benefits and challenges of emerging technologies. With a holistic view of the supply chain, TPS covers everything from materials and inks to micro-factories, finishing, and brand strategies.

In 2026, TPS evolves with a more interactive and immersive format. Hosted at the TextilTechnikum in Mönchengladbach’s Monforts Quartier, the conference offers exclusive tours of Textile Factory 7.0 and Brother’s MicroFactory, showcasing the future of textile production. Experience how cloud-powered workflows and smart technologies are enabling smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions.

TPS is the meeting point for all those driving change across the textile printing ecosystem.
