This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes for textiles across EU and non-EU countries, focusing on regulatory frameworks, operational models, financial mechanisms, and stakeholder insights. Through desk research and interviews with key stakeholders, the study identifies common challenges, best practices, and gaps in textile waste management. Key findings highlight disparities in scope, targets, and enforcement across regions, alongside systemic issues such as fast fashion’s impact on waste quality, infrastructure gaps, and governance inefficiencies. The report concludes with actionable recommendations to harmonize EPR systems, improve governance, incentivize sustainable design, strengthen EU-based recycling infrastructure, and communicate appropriate Information to citizens to advance circularity, in the textile sector.
