The environmental impact from the textile value chain is high, especially for the production process, but also for the use- and waste phases. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) solutions have been discussed as a possible policy tool to develop the market in the right direction. New business models for textiles are also being developed. This project aims to develop and propose possible packages of policy instruments, including an EPR-model, for textiles in the Nordic countries. Innovative new business models that enables more sustainable life cycles for textiles shall also be explored.
