The Government is being urged to implement variable Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees immediately to drive sustainability and establish a circular economy in the UK fashion and textiles sector.
A groundbreaking, industry-backed White Paper has been developed by QSA Partners with the support of industry bodies, UKFT, British Fashion Council and British Retail Consortium, along with several luxury, fashion and retail brands.
It is to be unveiled at the UKFT Sustainability Conference in London today (part of the EPR Sandbox project) and emphasises the need for "immediate government action to enable a more circular economy and create a variable EPR textile scheme that works for all".
