RLG Releases EPR Impact Assessment for Textile Industry
RLG Launches Textiles EPR Impact Assessment to Help Businesses Prepare for Compliance Costs
As global and EU textile regulations evolve, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is fast becoming a cornerstone of sustainable business practice. At RLG, we’re proud to launch our Textiles EPR Impact Assessment. This tailored service empowers organizations to lead with sustainability, meet their obligations, and plan confidently for the financial aspects of compliance.
A Proactive Approach to Textiles EPR
EPR regulation is a robust framework for advancing the circular economy in the textile sector. While the environmental goals of EPR are more established, including better waste management and more responsible production, many of the operational and financial details are still being finalized. As a result, businesses often face uncertainty around how and where they will be affected, especially when understanding cost forecasting and compliance planning.
Adding to this complexity, the first wave of implementation is already underway. Countries like France, the Netherlands, Lativa, and Hungary are acting early, with the EU-wide EPR mandate for textiles set to take effect by 2027. For businesses operating across borders, the urgency to act is real and growing.
Our Textiles EPR Impact Assessment is designed to remove that uncertainty.
By modelling potential compliance fees using the latest market intelligence and projected fee structures, the service enables organizations to:
- Identify which textile products and markets are likely to fall under EPR obligations
- Estimate upcoming compliance costs across jurisdictions
- Integrate cost forecasts into strategic, financial, and operational planning
This proactive approach gives businesses the clarity to manage risk, maintain momentum, and invest in sustainable growth confidently.
Designed for Multi-Market Businesses
With over 20 years of experience supporting organizations through regulatory change, RLG is uniquely positioned to guide multinational organizations through this transition.
Whether expanding into new regions or future-proofing your operations in existing ones, our assessment offers clarity and control. In addition to cost forecasting, the service includes:
- Monitoring of global EPR legislation relevant to textiles
- Mapping of material and market-specific obligations
- A review of internal data to assess reporting readiness
- A bespoke compliance roadmap tailored to your business
Each service offering is customized to reflect your operations and market exposure, offering actionable insights to help you confidently meet your responsibilities.
“Our mission is to help businesses lead change with clarity and confidence. EPR is not just a regulatory hurdle but a focus through which businesses can evaluate their product design, material use, and circularity targets. Insights from our assessment help inform not only compliance strategies but sustainability goals” says Lavi Aharon, Director, Textiles Program.
Why Now?
EPR regulation is no longer a future consideration. It is current and is already taking shape. Non-compliance has both financial and reputational risks for textile producers, importers, and retailers. At RLG, we believe preparation is the key to responsible growth. Our Textiles EPR Impact assessment gives you the insights and tools to comply and lead.
