GFTZ PUBLICATIONS

The Gemeinschaft für textile Zukunft (GftZ) has been extensively working on the topic of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles. EPR entails creating organizational structures that place an obligation on producers to produce recyclable materials and goods, use recycled fibres and promote the development of future technologies for processing and recycling fibres from used textiles. This requires legislative regulations to ensure funding and the achievement of the goals. On this subject, GftZ has created information materials and position papers, some of which have been published in collaboration with other organizations.
