Webinar | EPR for Textiles and Footwear

How to Stay Compliant Across Europe

The textile industry is facing a major regulatory transformation. The revision of the EU Waste Framework Directive is making Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles, footwear and home textiles mandatory across Europe. The new requirements affect all economic operators placing textile products on the EU market - from manufacturers and importers to distributors. Key obligations include financial contributions to collection systems, new labelling requirements and a ban on the destruction of unsold new goods. As implementation varies from country to country, companies face the challenge of coordinating complex national requirements, registration processes and reporting deadlines across the EU. Those who fail to prepare in time risk fines and potential revenue losses due to sales bans.

In our concise 60-minute webinar, we provide a comprehensive overview of the key obligations and explain how you can efficiently and legally ensure compliance with your product responsibility requirements with Deutsche Recycling as your EPR full-service partner. Following the presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask individual questions during a dedicated Q&A session.
