Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), set to be implemented in 2025 throughout the EU will rapidly transform the way businesses will handle their environmental obligations. With increasing regulations aimed at reducing waste and promoting recycling, companies are under more pressure than ever to comply with EPR mandates. However, compliance doesn’t have to be a burden. In fact, with the right strategy, it can be a significant opportunity to cut costs and enhance sustainability. At Re-Fresh Global, we specialize in helping companies navigate EPR compliance while turning their textile waste into valuable raw materials, ultimately reducing expenses and environmental impact.
Understanding EPR Compliance
EPR is a policy approach that shifts the responsibility of waste management and recycling from consumers and municipalities to producers. This means that businesses are now accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, from design and production to end-of-life disposal. For industries like textiles, this includes ensuring that post-consumer waste is collected, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
While the intention behind EPR is to encourage sustainable product designs and reduce waste, non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, increased operational costs, and damage to a company’s reputation. For many businesses, meeting these requirements can seem overwhelming and costly—but it doesn’t have to be.
