Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for E-Commerce Suppliers

Introduction of EPR System: The Italian Government is implementing an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for the textile industry to address environmental concerns related to textile waste, following similar initiatives in Germany and France.
Draft Ministerial Decree: The Ministry of Environment and Energy Security has published a draft Ministerial Decree mandating the introduction of EPR for manufacturers and distributors involved in the textile supply chain.
Compliance Requirements for Producers: The EPR will apply to all entities in the textile supply chain, requiring producers and distributors to register, manage waste systems, and comply with regulations to enhance VAT reporting and promote efficient waste management aligned with the EU circular economy framework.
