Milestone for Circular Textiles and for ReSpin
September 9, the European Parliament adopted a landmark directive introducing mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles across the EU.
Textile producers will now be responsible for covering the cost for the collection, sorting, and recycling of the products they place on the market.
At ReSpin, we strongly welcome this development. The decision supports what we’ve been working toward:
- A systemic shift away from linear models
- Economic incentives for reuse and high-quality recycling
- A framework where durability, traceability, and local circular solutions are rewarded
Our mechanical recycling solution is designed for this future, preserving fibre quality and enabling local production, without chemicals or downcycling.
