Textile Compliance In 2024: From EU EPR to US PFAS Updates

Webinar Overview

In 2024, there have been a number of developments globally in the textiles industry surrounding extended producer responsibility (EPR), safety, labeling and chemical requirements.

The EU is pushing forward in its goal for sustainable and circular textiles with the proposed mandatory and harmonized EPR scheme for textiles via the Waste Framework Directive and expanding ecodesign requirements to include textiles.
