Explore Circularity Day 2026

Explore Circularity Day is an annual RCA event designed to deep-dive into an emerging or complex topic. It provides a platform to explore, ask questions, and learn from others. This year, we’re exploring textile circularity in Alberta. Over the course of a transformative day, you’ll gain technical insights from leading innovators from across North America and learn from the experience of organizations and jurisdictions that have already implemented circular textile initiatives.  

You’ll be exposed to opportunities and challenges facing citizens, educators, business owners, scientists, and policymakers, with plenty of opportunities to explore questions, answers, and consider diverse viewpoints. 

Textiles are a fast-growing waste stream with clear opportunities for prevention, reuse, repair, and fibre-to-fibre recycling. Alberta has the people, partners, and policy conversations in motion. Why now? 2026 is our moment to connect the dots and accelerate action.
