EPR textile 06 2020

On 16 June 2020, the EPR Club held a lunch debate on EPR for the textile sector in Europe online. It was organised on the initiative of ACR+ and its member Metropolitan Region Amsterdam, members of the EPR Club.

The lunch debate welcomed panellists from different sectors and areas who could share their experience and questions. In addition to a representative of the EU Commission, viewers could learn from recyclers with representatives of EURATEX and of EPR Club member EuRIC, and also from textile collectors, represented by ACR+ member Humana – Fundacion pueblo para pueblo, participants could also understand better the only EPR system applied to textile, to date, which is organised in France.

The audience showed a high interest in all speakers’ presentations. Due to time constraints, not all questions were covered during the Q&A. Therefore, these questions were sent for the speakers to answer them on paper. Following up on this, the recording, presentations, and summary will soon be made available here.
