European Textiles Ecosystem Welcomes EU Waste Directive, Calls For Harmonised Implementation

Our members account for a significant part of the European economy and the EU apparel and footwear sector. Today’s European Parliament vote on the revision of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) marks a decisive step towards establishing a harmonised framework  for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles across the EU.
