#DidYouKnow that the organisation of used textile collection is quite diverse across Europe? Only few members states have established a national mandatory EPR system that is responsible for the management of used textiles: France, Hungary and the Netherlands🚮 Based on best practices around Europe, our CISUTAC partner ACR+ | Association of Cities and Regions for sustainable Resource management published a document providing an overview of the key instruments within the reach of local and regional authorities to improve the circularity of textile material flows, especially via citizens and engagement.

For CISUTAC we worked on an overview of the key instruments within the reach of local and regional authorities to improve the circularity of #textile material flows, especially via citizens and engagement. See below 3 recommendations for textile #waste #collection 👇

Please see this excellent post about the usefullness of EPR for textile waste
After 15 years of EPR the post-consumer textile collection rate in France remains in the 30’s%. A useful reminder that because governments/regulators want something to happen doesn’t mean it will happen. If the incentives and solutions for the actors - consumers, collectors, sorters, reuse operators, recyclers - aren’t right, they will not move. And also the mandatory separate post-consumer textile waste collection that will enter into force across the EU on 1st January 2025 will not change this overnight. Very insightful presentation by Refashion, the French Textile EPR organisation today at a consortium meeting of the EU project CISUTAC in Turin. For anybody interested in all the great work done by the organisation, check out the program of their Re_Fashion day on 5th November (link in comments below). And the event will be over before US election results drop 😉 #EPR #textilewaste

Certainly a highlight of our Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) annual convention is always the presntation by Jessica Franken on goveronment policies and direction as it relates to our trade. This presentation followed a good presentation by Marisa Adler on #epr. So important that we as an industry understand and participate in the conversation of the future of circularity and textile industry, both nationally and globally. #circularfashion #sustainablefashion #fashion
Delighted to have had the opportunity to speak at the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) annual meeting in Antigua, Guatemala, discussing pivotal policy topics impacting the industry. From the imminent California EPR legislation for textiles to broader discussions on circularity and international trade, I'm honored to collaborate with SMART members whose dedication is crucial for advancing EPR and textile circularity. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful dialogues after years of fruitful collaboration. #CircularEconomy #TextileRecycling #EPR

💡The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has published a new report in which it outlines why mandatory, fee-based extended producer responsibility (EPR) is essential to building a global #circular economy for #textiles💡 The report, ‘Pushing the Boundaries of EPR policy for textiles’, also calls for “unprecedented collaboration across governments”, and for a separate collection infrastructure for textiles to be scaled up dramatically and implemented in locations where it currently does not exist.

🌟 European Parliament Plenary: Our Top 3 Policy Asks For The New Term! 🌟 As the European Parliament kicks off its first plenary session, we are excited to present our top three policy priorities for the new term, crucial for Europe's green and digital transitions, economic resilience, and strategic autonomy: 1️⃣ Address Unfair Competition and Economic Distortions: We urge the adoption of policies to combat unfair competition and economic distortions caused by non-market excess capacities, particularly from Chinese State-owned companies, to ensure a level playing field and bolster Europe's strategic autonomy and economic resilience. 2️⃣ Elevate Industry Competitiveness: Prioritize local competitiveness and supply chain resilience by adopting policies that favour local content, support financial aid for manufacturing upgrades and infrastructures for cost-effective industry transformation. 3️⃣ Promote Circularity and Recycling: We advocate for a regulatory framework that supports circular composites, focusing on waste stream identification, collection, sorting, and the deployment of sustainable waste treatment solutions for end-of-life composite materials. We look forward to collaborating with MEPs to turn these policy asks into actionable outcomes. By working together, we can ensure a sustainable and competitive future for Europe. Stay tuned for updates and join us in our mission! 🌍✨ #EuropeanParliament #PolicyAsks #FairTrade #CircularEconomy #Recycling #IndustryCompetitiveness #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #StrategicAutonomy #EUIndustry #NewTerm #GlassFibre #Composites

✈️ #EUROPEN flew to Athens to discuss the preliminary outcome of the #PPWR negotiations, which formally concluded on Monday. The key takeaways? Industry is ready to embark on the journey to full circularity but framework conditions and a harmonised and workable legislation remain key to the #packaging sector and the 🇪🇺 #EU industry at large. 🙏 Thanks to the organisers of the Future of Plastics conference for having us! #plasticsconference24

The EU established the 'polluter pays' principle through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme, specifically tailored for textiles sold in the EU27 market. The eco-design requirements and methodologies will determine your product's eco-design score, which in turn will count towards your EPR contribution. In today’s EU Textile Strategy 2030 and Its Business Impact Masterclass Part II: Textile Product End-of-life Management, the topics covered include: - EU Circular Economy Action Plan and Textiles Strategy - Advancements in Textile Waste Management Legislation - Implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Scheme - Next Steps for Legislation Implementation Don’t miss the interview with our special guest rom the European Commission, Unit B3 for “From Waste to Resources” (DG ENV).

🎯 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach that makes producers responsible for their products along the entire lifecycle, including at the post-consumer stage. This policy paper by OECD - OCDE summarises the current consensus on the EPR policy approach. 💡 By taking stock of what's known and well-established in the literature, it aims to foster a common understanding of the EPR approach and to provide guiding principles for its successful implementation. This paper makes a valuable contribution to an increasing number of policy debates and processes that are ongoing, both at national and international levels, in areas such as plastics, electric and electronic waste and textiles. 🌐 Find out more on this website: https://lnkd.in/dyr_Kzvv 🤝 And join the Tondo Community to always be up to date with news on circular economy, more information at this link: https://lnkd.in/deTASBK3
