EuRIC Textiles, FEAD & DECATHLON urge effective EPR schemes and a level playing field in WFD revision

We, the signatories, welcome the ongoing negotiations and greatly appreciate the work done so far under the targeted review of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD), particularly on the establishment of EPR schemes for waste textiles. While we fully support this initiative, ensuring consistency is essential to avoid unnecessary administrative burdens for companies and Member States and to maximise the effectiveness of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes in delivering the intended environmental benefits.
