EU Policy Developments impacting Textile Circularity

The third webinar in the CISUTAC Sustainability Forum series will explore the latest EU policy developments shaping textile circularity. As the European Union accelerates its transition toward a circular economy, several key regulatory initiatives are set to transform how textiles are designed, produced, and managed throughout their lifecycle.

This session will provide an up-to-date overview and discussion of:

• Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)

• Waste Framework Directive revision and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

• End-of-Waste criteria

• Upcoming Circular Economy Act

• Green Claims Directive and the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) for Apparel and Footwear

Ekaterina Stoyanova from EURATEX will unpack the implications of these developments for CISUTAC project partners, ECOSYSTEX community and all professionals and researchers in the field of textiles and the circular economy.

Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed and ahead of the evolving EU policy landscape shaping the future of sustainable textiles.

The CISUTAC Sustainability Forum is a webinar series designed to foster knowledge-sharing and dialogue around sustainable practices in the textile sector. Developed as an accessible, modular learning experience, the series explores key topics including the textile decision tree, sorting for reuse and repair, recycling pathways, circular design principles, consumer behavior, and effective consumer interventions. Each session brings together experts, innovators, and engaged stakeholders to unpack practical strategies for closing the loop in textiles and advancing circularity across the value chain. The series aims to support professionals, researchers, and changemakers in building a more sustainable and resilient textile system.
