📋 Tender Overview
The working group working on how a producer responsibility scheme for textiles can be organised in Norway has finished its work. The working group will present its final report to Minister of Climate and Environment Espen Barth Eide on Tuesday 10 October.
In September 2022, the Ministry of Climate and Environment appointed a working group with the task of obtaining a knowledge base and proposing facilities for and elements that should be included in producer responsibility for textiles. The working group has looked at the entire textile value chain, and how producer responsibility can contribute to a more sustainable and circular textile industry, including through waste reduction, reuse and material recycling.
The working group has consisted of representatives from Virke (leader), NHO, Avfall Norway, Samfunnsbedriftene, Fretex, Framtiden i våre hender and Naturvernforbundet.
The Norwegian Environment Agency has participated as an observer. In addition, the working group has received input from a reference group consisting of representatives from manufacturers, the textile industry, academia, industry and the municipal sector.
