Assembling the European Circular Fashion and Textile System around EPR

Workshop

The Policy Hub – Circularity for Apparel and Footwear hosted its first workshop in Brussels on 29 January 2020.

On that occasion stakeholders from the apparel and footwear system (recyclers, suppliers, companies, fiber manufacturers etc.) who could attend were gathered around one specific issue identified as key in the conversations on circularity in textiles: extended producer responsibility (EPR).

They discussed about common grounds and opportunities for alignment: the main goals that a potential EPR would help achieve, how to ensure a fair share of financial and organisational responsibilities among stakeholders and what is expected from policymakers. Though there was overall agreement on many points such as the need for a harmonised approach at EU level defining a clear scope and division of responsibilities, discussion needs to be pursued on some issues such as eco-modulation fees.

As initiatives and positions around circular economy in textiles are emerging, the Policy Hub seeks to foster cross-stakeholder collaboration in order to promote a unified European policy framework that accelerates the transition to a circular system. A follow-up discussion will be organised before the summer. More to come!
