Primus Partners participated as a Knowledge Partner at the BioTex Fashion & Circularity Summit 2026, a leading industry platform that convened policymakers, industry leaders, innovators and sustainability practitioners to discuss the future of circular and sustainable textiles. Organised by the International Fashion Business Exchange Council (IFBEC) and the Textile & Fashion Leaders Association (TEFLA), the summit focused on accelerating bio-based innovation and circular systems across the textile and fashion value chain.
As part of the summit, Charu Malhotra, co-founder and managing director of Primus Partners, moderated a closed-door roundtable titled “Sustainability & Circularity to Scale: Standards, Skills & System Readiness". The session brought together stakeholders across industry, sustainability platforms and policy institutions to deliberate on the readiness of India’s textile ecosystem to scale circular practices. Discussions focused on key areas, including sustainability standards, environmental compliance frameworks, workforce readiness and institutional collaboration required to strengthen circular textile value chains.
Another key highlight of the summit was the recognition received by Primus Partners for its work in policy development and implementation in the circular textiles space. The firm was honoured with the Circular Textile Policy Award, recognising its contributions toward shaping policy frameworks that support sustainability and circularity within the textile sector.
The summit reinforced the importance of collaboration between government, industry and knowledge partners in building a resilient and responsible textile ecosystem. Discussions across sessions emphasised the need for stronger standards, improved skilling frameworks and institutional readiness to enable India’s transition toward a circular and sustainable textile economy.
