The author:BCRC China

On January 13, A new EU-funded project was launched to develop a deposit-return system for used textiles across Europe. Known as TexMat, the initiative will reward consumers for returning reusable and recyclable items, while notifying producers when discarded textiles require waste management. Automated collection containers will sort items by assessing their quality and capturing key information about the materials through digital product passports, set to be introduced across the EU in the near future.
