From fiber to standard framework
Shaping the future of circular textile laws and legislations
The textile industry is on the brink of profound change. Euratex has identified no fewer than 16 legislative initiatives affecting textiles and the circular economy. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a crucial part of these. Now is the time to find out which legislative initiatives are coming, how standardization plays a role and how these changes affect textile-related EPR schemes across Europe. We bring you the insights right from the source: Mauro from Euratex will share information on current and future regulations.
We will outline the Dutch system for EPR, while a representative from Refashion will highlight the French approach. These sessions will expose the differences and similarities, giving you a clear picture of how different countries tackle these challenges.
We will dive deep into the European playing field, with a focus on compliance and harmonization. How can EU countries set up PROs in the most harmonized way possible based on the WFD/EPR? This is a question that concerns us all, and to which we will find answers together
This side event is an unmissable opportunity for anyone involved in the textile industry. It is a platform for knowledge sharing, inspiration and collaboration. This is your chance to deepen your knowledge and be prepared for the changes ahead.
