♻️👕 How will Europe rethink textile waste in the next 2 years?
⚖️ A major shift is coming. With new EU rules, all Member States will need to implement Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes for textiles and footwear.
📗 To support this transition, Fundació ENT has developed “How to design and develop EPR for textiles in the EU?” on behalf of Zero Waste Europe — a practical guide to help turn this obligation into an opportunity.
It highlights key priorities such as:
🔁 Prioritising reuse and repair
🤝 Including social economy actors
💸 Ensuring full cost coverage
📊 Building robust monitoring systems
📄 If done right, textile EPR can be a real game changer for circularity in Europe. More information, executive summary and full report:
