Proposal for a directive
Recital 1

(1) The European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan69 call for reinforced and accelerated Union and Member State action to ensure environmental and social sustainability of the textiles and food sectors as they represent top resource intensive sectors that cause significant negative environmental externalities. In those sectors, financing and technological gaps impede progress towards the transition to a circular economy and decarbonisation. The food and textiles sectors are the first- and the fourth- most resource-intensive sectors respectively70 and they do not fully adhere to the fundamental Union waste management principles set out in the waste hierarchy which requires the prioritisation of waste prevention followed by preparation for re-use and recycling. These challenges require systemic solutions with a lifecycle approach. grounded in the recognition that the volume of waste generation is directly tied to the volume of products on the market; _________________ 69 COM(2020)98 final of 11 March 2020. 70 EU Transition Pathways (europa.eu)

Recital 10

(10) Having regard to the Union’s commitment to the ambition set out in SDG Target 12.3, the setting of food waste reduction targets to be achieved by Member States by 2030 should provide a strong policy impulse to take action and ensure a significant contribution to global targets. However, given the legally binding nature of such targets, they should be proportionate and ~~feasi~~attainable, and take into account the role of different actors in the food supply chain as well as their capacity (in particular micro and small enterprises). The establishment of legally binding targets should thus follow a step-wise approach, starting with a level which is lower than the one set under the SDG, with a view to ensuring a consistent response of Member States and tangible progress towards Target 12.3.

Recital 11

(11) Reducing food waste at the production and consumption stages requires different approaches and measures and involves different stakeholder groups. Therefore, ~~one~~ targets should be proposed for primary production and the processing and manufacturing stage and another one for the retail and other distribution of food, restaurants and food services and households. Reducing food waste at any point along the food supply chain yields significant positive environmental impact.

Recital 15

(15) In order to ensure that the step-wise approach towards the achievement of the global target delivers its objectives, the levels set for the legally binding targets on reduction of food waste, should be reviewed and revised, if appropriate, to take into account the progress made by Member States over time. This would allow for a possible adjustment of the targets ~~in view of strengthening the Union’s contribution and further aligning with SDG Target 12.3, to be reached by 2030 and~~ providing direction for further progress beyond ~~that date~~2030.

Recital 16 a (new)

(16a) With confusion around date marking being one of the causes for consumer food waste, the Commission should come forward as soon as possible with a proposal revising Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers, which was due to be published by December 2022. Among other aspects, this proposal was expected to amend rules for date marking to improve its expression, presentation and position on food packaging, and as such, boost correct use of this information.

Recital 17

(17) In line with the polluter-pays principle, as referred to in Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), it is essential that the producers placing on the Union market certain textile, textile-related and footwear products take responsibility for their management at their end-of life as well as extending their lifetime through making used textile, textile-related and footwear products available on the market for re-use. To implement the polluter pays principle, it is appropriate to lay down the obligations for the management of textile, textile- related and footwear producers, which include any manufacturer, importer or distributor, that, irrespective of the selling technique used, including by means of distance contracts as defined in Article 2, point (7), of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council77 , makes available those products on the market for the first time within a territory of a Member States on a professional basis under its own name or trademark. The scope of the producers covered by the extended producer responsibility should exclude micro enterprises and self- employed tailors producing customised products in view of their reduced role in the textile market as well as those placing on the market used textiles, textile-related and footwear products or such products derived from used or waste of those products in view of supporting re-use, including through repair, refurbishment and upcycling whereby certain functionalities of the original product is changed, within the Union. Micro enterprises should, however, be allowed to participate in producer responsibility organisations. _________________ 77 Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 304, 22.11.2011, p. 64).

Recital 18

(18) There are wide disparities in the way separate collection of textiles are or are planned to be set up, whether through extended producer responsibility schemes or other approaches. Where extended producer responsibility schemes are considered, there are also broad disparities, such as on the products in their scope and the responsibility of producers as well as governance models. The rules on extended producer responsibility laid down in Directive 2008/98/EC should therefore in general apply to extended producer responsibility schemes for producers of textile, textile-related and footwear products. However, they should be complemented by further specific provisions relevant for the textile sector characteristics, in particular, the high share of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) among the producers, the role of social enterprises and the importance of re- use in increasing the sustainability of the textile value chain. They should also be more detailed and harmonised to avoid creating a fragmented market that could have a negative impact on the sector, particularly on micro enterprises and SMEs, for the collection, treatment and recycling, as well as to provide clear incentives for sustainable textile product design and policies and facilitate the markets of secondary raw materials. In this context, Member States are encouraged to consider authorising multiple producer responsibility organisations as competition among such producer responsibility organisations may lead to greater consumer benefits, increase innovation, lower costs, improve collection rates, and increase choices for producers seeking to contract with such organisations.

(18a) According to the European Environment Agency, currently less than 1% of all clothing waste is used to make new clothing in a circular loop. Today, most textiles are not designed for circularity. 78% of all textile products require disassembly before textile-to- textile recycling. In order to ensure investment into circular textiles, targets should be established for the prevention, collection, sorting, reuse and local reuse, as well as recycling and fibre-to-fibre recycling of textiles to support and drive technological development and the investments into infrastructure as well as the push for ecodesign of textiles.

Recital 19

(19) The household textile and apparel clothing comprise the largest share of Union textile consumption and the biggest contributor to unsustainable patterns of over production and overconsumption. Household textiles and apparel are also the focus of all existing separate collection systems in Member States along with other post-consumer apparel and accessories and footwear that are not primarily composed of textiles. Therefore, the scope of the established extended producer responsibility scheme should cover household textile products and other articles of apparel, clothing accessories and footwear. In order to ensure the legal certainty for the producers on the products subject to the extended producer responsibility, the products in scope should be identified by reference to the Combined Nomenclature codes pursuant to Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/8778 . _________________ 78 OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

(20) The textile sector is resource intensive. While, in relation to both the production of raw materials and textiles, most of the pressures and impacts related to the consumption of clothing, footwear and ~~household~~ textiles in the Union occur in third countries, they also affect the Union due to their global impact on climate and the environment. Therefore, preventing, preparing for re-use and recycling textile waste can help reduce the global environmental footprint of the sector, including in the Union. In addition, the current resource-inefficient waste management of textile waste is not in line with the waste hierarchy and leads to environmental harm both in the Union and in third countries, including through greenhouse gas emissions from incineration and landfilling.

Recital 21

(21) The purpose of the extended producer responsibility for textiles, textile- related and footwear products is to ensure a high level of environmental and health protection in the Union, create an economy for collection, sorting, re-use, preparation for re-use and recycling, in particular, fibre-to-fibre recycling, as well as incentives for producers to ensure that their products are designed in respect of circularity principles. The producers of textiles and footwear should finance, in the final geographic location where such activities are determined to take place, the costs of collecting, sorting for re-use, preparing for re-use and recycling, and of the recycling and other treatment of collected used and waste textiles and footwear, including unsold consumer products considered waste that were supplied on the territory of the Member States after the entry into force of this amending Directive to ensure that the extended producer responsibility obligations do not apply retroactively and comply with the principle of legal certainty. Those producers should also finance the costs of carrying out compositional surveys of mixed collected municipal waste, support to research and development in sorting and recycling technologies, reporting on separate collection, re-use and other treatment and of providing information to end-users about the impact and sustainable management of textiles. Producers should also finance the development of reuse and repair processes and invest in social enterprises by allocating at least 10% of the fees collected to those activities.

Recital 23

(23) Producers and producer responsibility organisations should finance the scaling up of textile recycling, in particular, fibre-to-fibre recycling enabling the recycling of a broader variety materials and creating a source of raw materials for textile production in the Union. It is also important that the producers support financially research and innovation into technological developments in automatic sorting and composition sorting solutions that allow the separation and recycling of mixed materials and the decontamination of the waste to enable high-quality fibre-to- fibre recycling solutions and the uptake of recycled fibre content. To facilitate compliance with this Directive, Member States should ensure that information and assistance are available to economic operators from the textile sector, especially small and medium enterprises, which should take the form of guidance, financial support, access to finance, specialised management and staff training material, or organisational and technical assistance. If support is financed through state resources, including when wholly financed by contributions imposed by the public authority and levied on the undertakings concerned, it may constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU; in such cases, Member States have to ensure compliance with State aid rules. The mobilisation of private and public investment in the circularity and decarbonisation of the textile sector are also the focus of several Union funding programmes and roadmaps such as Hubs for Circularity and specific calls under Horizon Europe. It is also necessary to further assess the feasibility of setting Union targets for the recycling of textiles to support and drive technological development and the investments into recycling infrastructure as well as the push for ecodesign for recycling.

Recital 24

(24) Used and waste textiles, textile- related and footwear products should be collected separately from other waste streams, such as metals, paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, wood and bio- waste from 1 January 2025 to maintain their reusability and potential for high- quality recycling. Considering the environmental impact and the loss of materials due to used and waste textiles not being separately collected, and consequently not treated in an environmentally sound manner, the collection network of used and waste textiles, textile-related and footwear products should cover the whole territory of Member States including the outermost regions, be close to the end-user and not target only areas and products where the collection is profitable. The collection network should be organised in cooperation with other actors active in the waste management and re-use sectors, such as municipalities and social enterprises. In view of the significant environmental and climate benefits associated with re-use, the primary and secondary purpose of the collection network should be the collection of re-usable and recyclable textile, textile- related and footwear products accordingly. Since the consumer is not trained to distinguish between re-usable and recyclable items, the collection systems should, including for logistical efficiency purposes, provide for the collection receptacles that collect both used and waste items together. High collection rates would drive high re-use performance and quality recycling in the textile supply chains, boost the uptake of quality secondary raw materials and support the investment planning in the textile sorting and processing infrastructure. In order to verify and improve the effectiveness of the collection network and the information campaigns, ~~regular~~annual compositional surveys at least at NUTS 2 level should be carried out on mixed municipal waste collected to determine the amount of waste textiles and footwear therein. In addition, information on the performance of the separate collection systems and the attained annual separate collection rate should be calculated and made publicly available annually by the producer responsibility organisations.

(25) In view of the key role of social enterprises and social economy entities in the existing textile collection systems and their potential to create local, sustainable, participatory and inclusive businesses models and quality jobs in the Union, in line with the objectives of the EU Social Economy Action Plan79 , the introduction of extended producer responsibility schemes should maintain and support the activities of social enterprises and social economy entities involved in used and waste textiles management. These entities therefore should be regarded as partners in the separate collection systems supporting the scale-up of ~~re-~~preparation for re-use, re- use and repair and creating quality jobs for all and in particular for vulnerable groups. _________________ 79 COM (2021) 778 final of 9 December 2021.

Recital 26

(26) Producers and producer responsibility organisations should be actively involved in providing information to end users, in particular consumers, that used and waste textiles and footwear should be collected separately, that collection systems are available and that end-users have an important role in ensuring waste prevention and an environmentally optimal management of textiles waste. This information should include availability of re-use arrangements for textiles and footwear and the environmental benefits of sustainable consumption and the environmental, health and social impacts of the textile apparel industry. The end users should also be informed about their important role in making informed, responsible and sustainable textile consumption choices and ensuring an environmentally optimal management of textile and footwear waste. These information requirements apply in addition to the requirements on the provision of information to end-users in relation to the textile products laid down in the Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation80 and the Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council81 . The disclosure of information to all end users should make use of modern information technologies. The information should be provided both by classical means, such as posters both indoors and outdoors and social media campaigns, and by more innovative means, such as electronic access to websites provided by QR codes and the product passport established in accordance with Regulation …/...

(28) In order to monitor that producers meet their obligations relating to their financial, and organisational obligations to ensuring the management of used and waste textile, textile-related and footwear products they make available on the market for the first time within the territory of a Member State, it is necessary that a register of producers is established and managed by each Member State and that producers should be obliged to register. The registration requirements and format should be harmonised across the Union to the greatest extent possible so as to facilitate registration in particular where producers make textile, textile-related and footwear products available on the market for the first time in different Member States. The information in the register should be publicly accessible ~~to those entities that play a role in the verification of the compliance with the extended producer responsibility obligations and their enforcement~~.

(30) Article 30(1) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council83 obliges certain providers of online platforms allowing consumers to conclude distance contracts with producers offering textile, textile-related and footwear products to consumers located in the Union, prior to allowing a producer to use its services, to obtain certain identification information from that producer and a self-certification by the producer committing to only offer products or services that comply with the applicable rules of Union law. In order to ensure the effective enforcement of the extended producer responsibility obligations, it should be specified that providers of online platforms falling within the scope of Chapter 3, Section 4, of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 should ~~obtain~~comply with the extended producer responsibility requirements, unless they can prove that producers comply with those requirements by obtaining from those producers information on the registration in the textile producer register that Member State are obliged to set up pursuant to this Directive, as well as the registration number(s) of the producer in that register, and a self-certification by the producer committing itself to only offer textile, textile-related and footwear products to which the extended producer responsibility requirements laid down by this Directive apply. The rules on enforcement laid down in Chapter IV of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 apply to providers of such platforms in relation to these traceability rules. _________________ 83 OJ L 277, 27.10.2022, p. 1.

Recital 31

(31) In order to ensure the treatment of textiles in line with the waste hierarchy set out in Directive 2008/98/EC, producer responsibility organisations should ensure that all separately collected textiles and footwear are subject to sorting operations that generate both items that are fit for re- use meeting the needs of the receiving second-hand textile and the recycling feedstock markets in the Union and globally. In view of the greater environmental benefits associated with extending the lifetime of textiles, re-use should be the main objective of the sorting operations followed by sorting for recycling where the items are professionally assessed as not re-useable. These sorting requirements should be developed by the Commission as a priority as part of the harmonised Union end-of- waste criteria for re-useable textiles and recycled textiles, including on initial sorting that may take place at the collection point. Such harmonised criteria should bring about consistency and high quality in the collected fractions as well as in material flows for sorting, waste recovery operations and secondary raw materials across borders which in turn should facilitate the scaling up re-use and recycling value chains. ~~Used clothes professionally assessed as fit for re-use by the re-use operators or social enterprises and social economy entities at the collection point from end-users should not be considered waste.~~ In case re-use or recycling is not technically possible, the waste hierarchy should still be applied, avoiding landfilling where possible, in particular of biodegradable textiles that are a source of methane emissions, and applying energy recovery when incineration is applied.

Recital 32

(32) Exports of used and waste textiles outside the EU have been steadily increasing with exports representing the greatest share of the re-use market for post- consumer textiles generated in the EU. In view of the significant increase of the collected textile waste after the introduction of separate collection by 2025 it is important to strengthen the efforts to combat illegal shipments of waste to third countries disguised as non-waste for the purpose of ensuring high environmental protection. Building on Regulation …/… [P.O. insert the institutions and serial number, and complete the footnote for the Regulation on the Shipment of waste]84 and in view of the objective to ensure the sustainable management of post-consumer textiles and tackle illegal shipments of waste, it should be provided that all separately collected used textiles, textile- related and footwear products undergo a sorting operation prior to their shipment. Furthermore, it should be provided that all separately collected used textile, textile- related and footwear items are regarded as waste and subject to Union waste legislation, including on the shipments of waste, until they have undergone a sorting operation by a trained sorting for re-use and recycling operator and meet the relevant criteria established in Article 6. The sorting should be carried out in accordance with the harmonised sorting requirements that deliver high quality re- usable fraction that meet the needs of the receiving second hand textile markets in the EU and globally and by establishing criteria to distinguish between used goods and waste. Shipments of used textiles, textile-related and footwear products should be accompanied by information demonstrating that those items are the output of a sorting or a preparing for re-use operation and that the items are suitable for re-use and comply with the national rules of the destination country. _________________ 84 OJ to insert the reference number once adopted.
