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