Revision on Waste Framework Directive focusses on Textile and Food Waste
On 5 July 2023, the Commission published its plan to revise the Waste Framework Directive with a focus limited to new rules on the extended producer responsibility for textile and new food waste reduction targets.
The revision suggests a framework for implementing EPR for textiles in Europe and makes proposals for
- scope of application and definition of textiles
- financing of collection, sorting, reuse and recycling
- eco-modulation
- organization / Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs)
- entry into force
