Over two days in Brussels, the second in person meeting of the Textile Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) Forum brought together 30 delegates from 21 European organisations. Organised by EURATEX, the event delved into eco-modulation fee reporting, Waste Framework Directive (WFD) updates and recycling practice improvements aiming to streamline Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles across Europe.

Participants shared country level experiences and saw tangible progress across five joint workstreams, including reducing administrative burdens, expanding PRO coverage and crafting a unified EPR framework. The meeting cemented the Forum’s role as an essential coordination platform to drive sustainability and circularity in Europe’s textile sector.
