It brings together producers of clothing, accessories, leather goods, home textiles and footwear who have chosen to work together to address the challenges posed by the revision of the EU’s Waste Framework Directive.

Erion Textiles is unique in that it aims to empower producers to take the lead in shaping the circular management chain of textile products, with fashion and clothing producers overseeing the governance of the Collective Scheme.

In 2024, it established the ‘associates’ working group to evaluate innovative services and regulatory updates with industry stakeholders, and also conducted a simulation of eco-contribution calculations.

Erion Textiles is actively involved in:

• the Textiles PRO Forum, an initiative that aims to harmonize the EPR system at a European level;
• the Policy Hub, the European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) and the European Federation of Security Industries (FESI), to promote joint action on textile waste management and sustainability.
