  • Joint statement on Extended Producer Responsibility for textiles

    The proposal for a targeted revision of the Waste Framework Directive addresses some key waste streams in need of urgent attention. The proposed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles is a first step towards holding producers accountable for the products they place on the market. In our joint letter we point out some grave shortcomings of the proposal and call on policymakers to fully implement the 'polluter pays principle' to stem the tide of textile waste in the EU.
