European Commission starts framing end-of-waste criteria for textile fibre2fashion.com
The European Commission has finalised its scoping assessment to identify the priority list of waste streams for the development of further European Union (EU)-wide end-of-waste criteria, as announced in the Circular Economy Action plan. Plastics and textiles—separately collected clothes and other textiles prepared for re-use and cellulosic or mixed fibres recovered or recycled from textile waste—are the top two candidate streams.
Over the past year and a half, the Commission has carried out a scoping exercise that included a study published in 2020. This was followed up by a stakeholder consultation and an on-line stakeholder workshop in September 2021 where the Commission presented the ongoing end-of-waste scoping project, information gathered and preliminary findings.
