📢 Second-hand fashion should not be penalized by the European Union! - Measure 4 of our European Manifesto ♻️ As the revision of the Waste Framework Directive progresses, there is a major risk that second-hand textiles will be included in the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system across the European Union. At the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire, we firmly oppose this inclusion. Here’s why: 💡 EPR should promote reuse and not sanction it! By imposing financial constraints on reuse, this measure could discourage businesses from extending product lifespans and slow down the transition to a truly circular economy. This measure would introduce administrative burdens and costs for second-hand professionals. How can we scale circular fashion if the very policies meant to support it make it harder to operate? Harmonization is key – our European Manifesto for Circular Fashion calls for a coherent and fair EPR framework that excludes verified second-hand items. Measure 4 clearly states that EPR should not apply to reused textiles, ensuring that second-hand remains a driver of sustainability, not an additional cost to bear. We welcome the Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union's proposal to either introduce a review clause or delay implementation until the impact of EPR financing dynamics is fully assessed. But we need stronger commitments to safeguard circular fashion! 👀 Here's an exclusive sneak peek at our manifesto, which will be unveiled very soon. 🌟 Join us on February 20 as we officially present our European Manifesto for Circular Fashion. Let’s make sure that second-hand remains a solution, not a target. 📍 Location: Press Club Brussels Europe – Rue Froissart 95, 1040 Bruxelles, Belgique 📅 Date & Time: February 20, 11:00 AM – 01:00 PM 🔗 Registration link in the comments ⬇️
