Join the “Textile EPR 2040 – Imagining Future Directions” workshop, taking place in person in Paris on 24–25 June 2026 in the scope of the Horizon Europe TRUSTex project.
There is a lot happening around textile EPR in Europe at the moment, with discussions and events taking place almost every week. In this workshop, TRUSTex will use foresight to stress-test the fundamentals of textile EPR across different future scenarios.
Some of the realities shaping the sector today looked very different only a few years ago, from the rise of ultra-fast fashion to social media becoming a key driver of trends and purchasing decisions. Looking ahead, what other shifts might emerge, and how resilient would current EPR systems be in responding to them?
What to expect?
Over 1,5 days, participants will:
identify key drivers and uncertainties shaping the future of textiles and EPR
develop and discuss plausible future scenarios
exchange perspectives with peers from across the textile value chain
contribute practical insights to discussions on the future design of EPR system

This workshop is particularly relevant for those who wish to:
bring operational and implementation experience into the conversation
