The proposal stems in part from the EU’s Waste Framework Directive, which sets the framework for producer responsibility for textiles across EU member states and states that registration requirements should be harmonised across countries to the greatest extent possible.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Article 22b describes a specific solution based on creating a website with links to the registers of individual member states.<\/p>\n

In Denmark, registration requirements are centralised under Dansk Producentansvar (DPA).<\/p>\n

In practice, this means the requirements of the Waste Framework Directive would be met by including a link to DPA’s website on the new overview page listing all EU member states’ registers.<\/p>\n

Given the considerable complexity of producer responsibility, this approach would have a fairly limited effect in reducing the administrative burden on companies.<\/p>\n

The three organisations have therefore joined forces to propose a far more comprehensive solution with considerably greater potential to ease the producer responsibility burden for producers.<\/p>\n

Specifically, they propose a unified EU register that would provide:<\/p>\n
