Watch: Valpak Reconomy on proposed Waste Framework Directive amendments

20/10/2025

UKFT associate partner Valpak Reconomy, has created a webinar that provides an overview of the proposed EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD), a key piece of legislation shaping the future of textile waste and circularity.

This short video outlines:

  • The scope and objectives of the revised WFD
  • What it means for textile producers, brands, and retailers
  • How upcoming Textile EPR schemes may affect businesses
  • The importance of data, traceability, and more sustainable design

The video is available on the Valpak website and can be accessed here https://www.valpak.co.uk/knowledge-hub-post/textiles-epr-eu-waste-directive-webinar/

UKFT encourages members to watch and share this with relevant teams, especially those involved in sustainability and compliance.

UKFT members can also request a copy of the UKFT Guide to Global Textiles EPR schemes and the UKFT Guide to Global Packaging EPR schemes. UKFT can facilitate introductions to the Valpak team for businesses requiring external support with managing EPR compliance. Please email compliance@ukft.org for more information.
