Reduce
the environmental impact of used textiles and footwear
by optimising
their end-of-life
Reducing the environmental impact of the textile and footwear sector is a top priority.
To contribute to this, Refashion is guided by a strong conviction: reliable, shared and transparent data are the foundation of any environmental improvement approach.
In this spirit, in 2025 the Producer Responsibility Organisation updated the Environmental Assessment of the Clothing, Household linen and Footwear EPR scheme, conducted using the life cycle assessment method, in compliance with the ISO standards in force and subject to critical review by independent experts. This assessment provides a reference framework for steering long-term environmental performance.
Covering all key stages — collection, sorting, reuse, preparing for reuse and recovery — it incorporates both the impacts generated and the potential benefits beyond the industry, with three objectives:
to provide stakeholders with reliable data on the environmental impacts associated with different end-of-life scenarios;
to identify the most impactful stages and flows;
to propose avenues for continuous improvement and strengthen collective mobilisation around a progress trajectory.
