Next progression check date:

Over half of the social and circular enterprises in RREUSE’s network are active in textile reuse and waste management, including collection, sorting, repair and reuse. As separate textile collection in the EU becomes mandatory, quantities of collected textiles are set to surge. This risks exacerbating challenges for social enterprises, pressured by overproduction and market saturation, rising operational costs, and a significant funding gap. RREUSE will strive to shape a Circular Economy Act that can address these challenges, e.g. by aligning Extended Producer Responsibility schemes with the waste hierarchy, and ensuring support to social and circular enterprises active in textile reuse and waste management.
