Do you place textiles or footwear on the market in Germany or elsewhere in Europe?
As a producer, importer or distributor of textiles and footwear, you may be subject to extended producer responsibility, or EPR.
Textile EPR requires companies to assume responsibility for the collection, sorting, reuse and recovery of their products. The specific obligations depend on the country in which the products are placed on the market.
Products that may be covered include, in particular:
- Clothing and accessories
- Footwear
- Home and household textiles
- Other textile products
Typical requirements include registration with national authorities, participation in a producer responsibility organisations (PROs), regular reporting of quantities placed on the market, and the payment of environmental fees.
How can companies keep track of country-specific requirements?
Textile EPR requirements are implemented differently across Europe. Registration procedures, product categories, reporting deadlines and fee models may therefore vary from country to country.
There is no central EU-wide registration system. Companies must generally assess and fulfil their obligations separately in each country in which they place products on the market.
