EU Enhances Circular Economy Efforts
The European Union is advancing towards a more circular and sustainable economy through the revised Waste Framework Directive.
This update introduces standard rules for extended producer responsibility (EPR) in the textile and footwear sectors and sets binding food waste reduction targets for all Member States, aiming to reduce waste, cut environmental damage, and boost economic resilience.
The revision aligns with the EU’s Competitiveness Compass and Strategic Agenda for 2024–2029, promoting sustainable practices and reducing dependence on raw materials.
The textile and clothing sector in Europe is significant, generating a turnover of €170 billion in 2023 and employing 1.3 million people across nearly 200,000 companies.
