EU legal pressure to the fashion industry: moving towards circularity
In 2021 the EU Commission published the roadmap for its EU strategy for textiles (Ref. Ares (2021)67453 – 05/01/2021) and the EU Parliament voted for the New Circular Economy Action Plan. The priority is to accelerate the transformation of the textile sector into a sustainable and circular industry by implementing:
Circular economy.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Increase of recycling rates.
Circular economy: the key for sustainable fashion
One of the major negative impacts on our climate is when the reusable, repairable and recyclable clothes fraction goes to landfilll and incineration. Thanks to Recuprenda’s circular solution brands and retailers can reduce up to 54% the environmental impact of the fashion industry chain.
European Green Deal: fashion industry
Recuprenda is the partner to reach the goal “transitioning of industry to a clean and/or circular economy (including waste prevention and or recycling)”, one of the main pillars of the European Green Deal, the new growth strategy of the European Commission for a more sustainable economy. Our solution allows the reduction of waste going to landfills, increases the reuse and recycling volume and thus reduce the GHGs emissions immensely.
In this objective, main EU targets are to cut greenhouse gas emissions (50-55% by 2030), increase the amount of general municipal waste re-use and recycling (60 % by 2030) and reduce the share of municipal waste landfilled (up to 10% of total municipal waste by 2035).
R&D
Recuprenda actively participates in distinguished R&D projects acting as a link between the brands and the recycling technology innovators. We are continuously enlarging our professional networking with the most innovative recycling processors which are developing disruptive technologies to recycle textile. This makes possible that the textile waste is efficiently transformed into secondary feed stock.
