This webinar examines the state of separate textile waste collection across Europe, assessing the impact of the 2025 mandatory collection requirement and how collection systems are expected to evolve. It also explores the sorting landscape: key actors, business models, reuse vs. recycling practices, and the technological innovations shaping the future.
This event is open to Circular & Biobased Textiles Innovation Hub members and Textile EPR Masterclass subscribers only. Interested in joining? Get in touch to find out more, or subscribe directly below.
About the Textile EPR Masterclass
The Textile EPR Masterclass offers a practical, up-to-date guide to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles, clothing, and footwear in Europe. This 6-month programme (January to June 2026) helps you learn about EU legislation, EPR fees, Producer Responsibility Organisations, and reporting obligations.
The Textile EPR Masterclass is a six-month programme with a one-time, non-recurring payment. You can join with the masterclass membership only, or choose the Circular & Biobased Textiles Innovation Hub membership, which already includes full access to the Masterclass programme.
You will explore textile waste collection, sorting, repair, reuse, and recycling, as well as ecodesign and circular business strategies.
Designed for companies and professionals, it equips your organisation to manage EPR systems effectively, drive sustainability, and seize circular economy opportunities.
