France's Refashion and Eco-modulation
Maximising EPR bonuses through testing and verification
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is changing how brands and retailers manage the end-of-life impacts of clothing, household linen and footwear. In France, Refashion’s eco-modulation framework offers financial bonuses for eligible products that meet durability, environmental certification or recycled-material criteria, while penalties can increase costs and prevent bonus eligibility.
This whitepaper examines textile EPR and France’s Refashion framework, explaining how testing, verification and supply-chain documentation can help businesses substantiate bonus eligibility, identify penalty risks and make informed product decisions.
