UK & EU Textile EPR Factsheet

£0.00

Textile Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is moving from concept to enforcement across Europe.

Under the revised Waste Framework Directive, brands selling into the EU will become financially responsible for the collection, sorting, and recycling of their products by 2028.

While the UK has yet to legislate, industry and government direction is clear—EPR is coming.

This is not just a cost shift; it’s a fundamental change in how product design, durability, and circularity are measured and priced.

This factsheet sets out what textile EPR means for your brand and what you need to be doing now.
