Will the EPR regulation create incentives for a more circular
textile industry? Alexander Sustal, Lawyer at Redeker Sellner Dahs,
explains how Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will change the
economics of textile collection, sorting and recycling in Germany.
The episode covers the status quo, the actors and financing flows
an EPR scheme introduces, and the wider legal questions an EPR
scheme raises. What you'll hear in this episode: • How the current
market based system for used textiles is financed, why it is under
pressure, and what an EPR scheme changes about who carries
responsibility and who pays. • The roles of producers, Producer
Responsibility Organisations (PROs), registries and supervising
authorities, and how fees are collected, calculated and distributed
among them. • Why eco modulation links fees to eco design criteria
such as durability, repairability and recycled content, and why the
level of the fees may matter as much as the criteria themselves.
The episode also covers end of waste criteria, and harmonisation
across Member States.
