Why now
Under the EU Strategy for Circular and Sustainable Textiles, the strategic plan to ensure the circularity of textile products placed on the European market by 2030, there are two relevant regulations:
- Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) which introduced a ban on the destruction of textile products;
- Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) which gives brands responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products.
