New European Circular Textile Coalition Advocates for Robust Recycling Policy

The European Circular Textile Coalition, comprising Reju, Resortecs, COLEO, and other industry players, is calling for a more robust recycling policy in Europe's textile industry.

Legislation like the extended producer responsibility (EPR) requires brands to increase recycling percentages, but implementation proves challenging.

Author's summary: Coalition seeks improved recycling policy.
