This presentation demonstrates how Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) can make the textile sector in Germany more sustainable. Based on the initial findings of a DBU-funded project in collaboration with GRS PRO, the practical challenges of textile recycling will be examined. The presentation will address both opportunities for waste prevention and resource conservation, as well as the promotion of durable, recyclable textiles. Furthermore, it will discuss the framework conditions and measures necessary for the effective implementation of EPR.
