The EU has recently announced its programmes to boost circularity and competitiveness this year, and over the next five years, so our feature article Focus on… policy outlines the plans.

As we move ever closer to EPR for textiles – Environmental Compliance reports on the political agreement between the EU Parliament and Council – Jan Patrick Schulz in CEO Corner looks to what’s already happening in the Netherlands for pointers as to how textile EPR will work.

We also have the latest on Chemical Compliance, including harmful chemicals in packaging (PPWR) and the REACH revision, and Circular Economy examines recycling for textiles, glass and packaging.

Plus, this month’s Compass also sets a course for four different destinations: Canada, Denmark, Uruguay and the USA.

We hope you enjoy your flight!
