Textile EPR: Share your views on Spain’s draft decree on textile and footwear waste
30/07/2025
Following the release of Spain’s draft decree on textile and footwear waste, the Ministry has opened a public consultation, with feedback due by 4 September 2025. UKFT Associate Partner Valpak, provider of environmental solutions, is preparing a collective response on behalf of their members and has extended this to UKFT members. To support brands in understanding the proposed legislation, Valpak have created a short, client-exclusive video (also available to UKFT members) that walks through the key articles and implications.
This resource is intended for companies placing textiles or footwear on the Spanish market and is designed to build clarity and confidence around the legislative requirements, not only in Spain, but also in the broader context of EU-wide EPR developments. UKFT members have the option to respond to the consultation directly via the Ministry, or through Valpak as part of their coordinated submission.
UKFT members: Submit your feedback via Valpak’s collective response, by completing this form.
