Textile Extended Producer Responsibility Impact Assessment service designed to help producers prepare for textile regulations in the EU launches.
The service allows producers to track upcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations across the globe and identify obligations across relevant markets.
Created by international circular economy specialist Reconomy, the tool allows producers to estimate compliance costs based on market data and expected fee structures, and review data readiness.
While the EU’s EPR mandate for textiles is set to take effect in 2027, several member states including France, the Netherlands, Hungary and Latvia have already implemented their own schemes.
Reconomy is actively involved in shaping the future of EPR and is well placed to help producers navigate these changes…
Lavi Aharon, Director of Textile Programme and Business Development at Reconomy, commented: “We are excited to be launching this new service that builds on our existing market-leading capabilities to give producers much-needed clarity and confidence as they prepare for the most transformative piece of legislation facing the fashion sector.
“With our long-standing relationships with regulators, policymakers and industry bodies, Reconomy is actively involved in shaping the future of EPR and is well placed to help producers navigate these changes, identify cost savings and drive greater circularity across the industry.”
The new service builds on Reconomy’s work in EPR compliance, which includes managing over 40 producer responsibility organisations (PROs) across 15 countries.
Through its brand, Valpak, Reconomy has also developed a packaging and product database that helps global producers report and manage their EPR requirements.
The database also shows how design changes can have an impact on reducing compliance costs and lowering carbon footprints.
