- Parliament approved the revision of the Waste Framework Directive, making Extended Producer Responsibility for textiles mandatory across the EU. Producers selling textiles in the EU must fund collection, sorting, and recycling through national EPR schemes, with micro-enterprises given an additional 12 months before obligations apply.The law covers clothing, accessories, hats, footwear, blankets, bed and kitchen linen, and curtains, with mattresses being optional at the member-state level.Countries are encouraged to modulate fees to address ultra-fast and fast-fashion practices, and food waste targets are set for a 10 percent reduction in processing and manufacturing and a 30 percent per-capita reduction by 2030.Companies must map producer status, estimate EPR fee exposure, implement data capture, select interim PROs, prepare eco-design documentation, and align e-commerce controls.
