We hosted an insightful webinar titled 'Driving Textile Recycling Through Policy in the UK' on 12th June.   

The expert panel featured Julia Blees (EuRIC), Ekaterina Stoyanova (Euratex), Timothee Duret (Veolia), and Larisa Tabacaru (West London Waste Authority), who shared valuable insights on the challenges and opportunities in the field. Key takeaways included:  

• The importance of embracing a resource-focused mindset in legislation and the role of end-of-waste criteria in promoting textile recycling 
• The need for harmonising Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes across EU member states and aligning EPR with ecodesign legislation 
• The critical role of recycled content mandates in driving demand for recycled materials and the development of recycling infrastructure
