RIVISTA DI STUDI SULLA SOSTENIBILITA', 2024, vol. XIV, issue 2, 87-102

Abstract: This paper explores the potential of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sys-tems to enhance sustainability in the European textile industry, which is both eco-nomically significant and environmentally impactful. EPR assigns lifecycle re-sponsibility to producers, encouraging sustainable design and waste management. The paper compares the centralized mono-consortium model, exemplified by France?s Refashion Consortium, with Italy?s emerging multi-consortium approach. While mono-consortiums offer centralized control, multi-consortiums promote competition and innovation. The success of EPR in driving circularity in the textile sector depends on context-specific policies that engage all stakeholders.
