In December 2024, the European Environmental Bureau published the document Circular Textiles Policy Review, which focuses on supporting the circular economy in the European textile industry. The material provides a set of recommendations and proposed measures aimed at a more sustainable approach to the production, use, and processing of textiles across Europe.
The document focuses mainly on:
ecological design of textile products,
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems,
new legislative obligations for manufacturers and distributors,
more efficient textile waste management,
support for textile reuse and recycling.
The proposed measures will have a significant impact on the entire textile sector and may influence future business strategies and the daily operations of companies operating in this industry.
Over the next month, we will bring you a more detailed overview of this document, including key recommendations and practical impacts on our sector. We will also focus on the connections with the upcoming legislative changes that will shape the future of responsible management of textiles and textile waste.
