Spain launches pilot for large-scale textile waste management

The Spanish Association for the Management of Textile Waste, FEMP (Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces) and some of the largest fashion companies are joining forces to tackle textile waste ahead of the EU regulation for the Collective System of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles and footwear (SCRAP), which is expected to come into force in 2026. In a press release, they presented Re-viste, the name of the first pilot programme for textile waste collection in Spain. Re-viste aims to test the effectiveness of collection systems and is supported by major brands such as Decathlon, H&M, Inditex and Mango.
