Ministerial correction made by Rebecca Pow (Conservative) on Friday, 20 January 2023, in the House of Commons on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Textiles: Recycling
The Government recognises the environmental impact of the textiles industry, which is why we identified textiles as a priority waste stream in our 2018 Resources and Waste Strategy for England
In 2021 Defra funded WRAP's Textiles 2030 programme, a voluntary business initiative with ambitious carbon and water targets. Signatories represent over 62% of clothing put on the UK market
We published our response to the consultation on EPR in March 2022. We have no intention at present to extend EPR to textiles
We are considering the merits of an EPR scheme within a policy framework while we assess options to reduce waste and the environmental impact of textiles.
