COWES - The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has published a new report in which it outlines why mandatory, fee-based extended producer responsibility (EPR) is essential to building a global circular economy for textiles.
The report, ‘Pushing the Boundaries of EPR policy for textiles’, also calls for “unprecedented collaboration across governments”, and for a separate collection infrastructure for textiles to be scaled up dramatically and implemented in locations where it currently does not exist.
