EU Textile EPR Roadmap: Where to Start

  • Textile EPR obligations in the EU are already in force in several Member States, with more legislation pending; organizations should not wait for the 2028 Waste Framework Directive deadline to start compliance work.
  • The first step is to determine producer status per country by assessing the relevant legal entity, supply chain role, and sales channels, since one group can be a manufacturer in one market, importer in another, and distance seller in a third.
  • Companies should set up a central cross-functional project team rather than leaving registrations to local offices, to avoid fragmented data, duplicate work, and weak oversight.
  • They should then review product data and identify gaps, especially for required textile reporting fields such as fiber composition and supplier information.
  • A practical compliance roadmap is: determine producer status, form the team, assess data, map countries and PROs, then automate the process.
