Manufacturer - Importer's responsibility

The European Commission has presented a package of measures to ensure that we use natural resources sustainably. This package also includes changes aimed at reducing the amount of textile waste and ensuring proper management of this waste.

From 2025, all EU member states aim to introduce mandatory extended producer-importer responsibility for textile products placed on the market. Brands will be encouraged to reduce the amount of textile waste by ensuring circularity, improve the quality of textile products and will have to cover waste management costs.

The capacity of collection, sorting, reuse and recycling of textile waste will be financed with the monetary contributions of the Producers-Importers. The contribution will be determined taking into account the environmental performance of the textile products.

When implementing the textile manufacturer-importer's extended liability system, the aim will be to reduce the administrative burden on brands as much as possible, therefore the directive proposes to oblige organizations to carry out the principle of responsibility.
