By subscribing to our Textiles Horizon Scanning service, you will receive a concise report presenting a comprehensive overview of textiles EPR worldwide. This report will include existing textile EPR regulations as well as pending legislation.

You will then receive a quarterly newsletter-style update to allow your business to prepare for any changes.

Our comprehensive support also includes access to our team of international EPR experts who are on hand to:

  • Keep you updated
  • Follow-up questions and arrange meetings when requested

We also offer support to companies that may not be obligated to comply with textile EPR regulations but are eager to actively reduce their environmental impact.

In addition to our Textiles Horizon Scanning service, our committed sustainability consultants are ready to help with any textiles EPR enquiry, no matter how unique or specialised. We can create a customised solution to suit your business requirements.

We stay up to date on environmental legislation developments and textile requirements across the globe, such as Right-To-Repair, Digital Product Passport, and Ecodesign Directive for Sustainable Products, leaving no stone unturned to discover what is already in place and what is around the corner!

Please note that this service requires further research; therefore, it is separate from the standard Textiles Horizon Scanning offering and will incur additional fees.
