Textile EPR is accelerating globally, and data is becoming essential 👕 EU textile regulation and the Eco-Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) are shifting focus upstream to design. At the centre of this shift is accurate fibre composition data. Markets such as the Netherlands already require weights-based reporting, and more are expected to follow 🔍 Without reliable fibre breakdowns, businesses risk: • poor design decisions • compliance gaps • increased reporting pressure Our textile scanners provide clear, reliable fibre composition data to support better design decisions and confident EPR compliance. Watch the video to see them in action 👇 #TextileEPR #ESPR #EcoDesign #Sustainability #Compliance

RAM is no longer a future risk. It’s here, and it’s driving up your EPR costs🚦 Under UK Extended Producer Responsibility, the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) determines whether your packaging is rated Red, Amber or Green. Red = highest fees. And those fees are set to increase year on year. There are practical ways to move away from Red. Join TerraCycle’s upcoming webinar with Valpak and @WRAP_NGO to understand what this means and what to do next: - how RAM determines Red, Amber and Green ratings - how the Bonus and Malus system will shape your 2026 disposal fees - how Take-Back Schemes can provide evidence of recovery to help shift packaging from Red to Amber and reduce EPR costs 🗓️ 21 May |⏰ 12:00–13:00 |📍 Virtual 👉 Register now to protect your margins and plan with confidence: okt.to/ORUDY3
