Why Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Textiles in the Netherlands?

Since July 1, 2023, the Netherlands has implemented Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles to promote sustainability and reduce waste. This makes companies responsible, including financially, for the collection, reuse, and recycling of textile products once consumers discard them.

The goal is to achieve a circular textile industry by 2050. Currently, half of all textiles end up as non-recyclable waste. The EPR rules encourage businesses to adopt sustainable production methods and use more recycled materials, reducing environmental impact.

To whom do the Textiles EPR rules apply to?

The rules apply to ‘’producers’’ who place newly manufactured clothing and household textiles on the Dutch market. This includes:

• Manufacturers based in the Netherlands
• Importers based in the Netherlands
• Foreign suppliers, including online sellers, who sell directly to Dutch consumers

The term "placing on the market" refers to the first availability of these textiles in the Netherlands, regardless of the selling method or the first buyer, which can be a store, company, or consumer. The textiles can be sold or given away for free.

Which textile products fall under the Textile EPR decree?

The Textile EPR in the Netherlands applies only to producers who place the following textile products on the market:

Clothing:
• Consumer clothing (customs codes 61 and 62)
• Workwear (customs codes 61 and 62)

Household textiles:

• Bed linen (customs code 6302)
• Table linen (customs code 6302)
• Household linen (customs code 6302), such as towels and tea towels

Additionally, the textile EPR apply only to new clothing and new household textiles, not second-hand items.

Which textile products are exempt?

The EPR textiles apply only to producers who place new clothing (consumer clothing and workwear) and new household textiles (bed linen, table linen, and household linen) on the market.

Producers of the following textile products are not subject to the EPR textiles:

• Bags and belts (customs code 42)
• Shoes (customs code 64)
• Headwear (customs code 65)

What is the difference between the 2024 and 2025 packages?

The difference is that in 2024, the service package mainly covered registration, reporting, and administrative costs.

In 2025, companies are required to meet specific targets for the collection, reuse, and recycling of textiles. This means they must actively finance and organise the entire recycling process. As a result, the 2025 package includes both administrative and operational costs for collection and recycling.

Can I buy compliance packages if I bring over 10,000 kg of textile products to the Dutch market?
