FESI Webinar Navigating EPR & the Waste Framework: National Updates for Textiles and Footwear

We are pleased to invite you to a FESI webinar on 10 March from 15:30 to 17:30 CEST dedicated to national developments related to the implementation of the EU Waste Framework Directive, with a specific focus on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes for textiles, footwear, and packaging.

As Member States move at different speeds and with different approaches, our sector is facing an increasingly fragmented regulatory landscape. This webinar aims to give you a clear, practical overview of what is happening on the ground and what it means for brands, retailers, and the wider sporting goods industry.

What to expect:

·                 Updates from our national federations in France (Union Sport & Cycle), Germany (BSI and HDSL), and Italy (Assosport), and potentially the Netherlands, on key regulatory developments

·                 Insights into national sorting instructions, eco-scores, and related consumer information tools

·                 A contribution from our member Decathlon, sharing their perspective this fragmented landscape in practice

·                 An open exchange on the practical implications for our sector, pending EU-level harmonisation

This will be a valuable opportunity to hear directly from those shaping and implementing these frameworks, compare approaches across countries, and discuss concrete impacts for your organisations.

We look forward to your participation.
