BRUSSELS - MEPs have today voted to strengthen a proposed extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme for textile waste as part of a revision of the European Union's (EU) Waste Framework Directive.
The European Parliament agreed the EPR scheme, through which companies which sell textile products in the EU would be responsible for their end-of-life, would be introduced 18 months after the revised directive comes into effect, compared to the 30 months originally proposed.
