The 'eco -' fashion will force paying for recycling clothes
La lucha contra el cambio climático llega a la industria textil. La futura Ley de Residuos, que está previsto que entre en vigor en el primer trimestre de 2022, prohibirá al sector textil destruir los tejidos y obligará a reutilizar la basura textil pagando una 'ecotasa' para contaminar menos.
The Summit on Climate Change, COP26, which is celebrated in the city of Glasgow (Scotland) has stressed that fossil energies are the most pollutants for the environment.But the textile industry would follow him in the ranking of the less clean economic sectors for the planet, according to the United Nations.In fact, a recent report records that less than 1% of the total production of textiles is recycled in a closed cycle, that is, with the same use or similar.
Fashion in Spain had been, so far, exempt from ecological obligations and had been kept out of the focus of regulation.But now the future Law on Contaminated Waste and Soils, which is planned to be approved in the first quarter of 2022 could revolutionize the textile industry.
In this way, textile companies will not be able to destroy the garments that have failed to sell and must pay for recycling the clothes that are thrown out.That is, the procedure would be very similar to the one done today with glass containers.
In the field of prevention, with the entry into force of the law "the destruction of surpluses not sold of non -perishable products, such as textiles, toys and electrical appliances, among others, will be prohibited, among others," says the bill, even inparliamentary process.

The regulations also mention the "expanded responsibility of the RAP producer", which would impose producers through Royal Decree to carry out a "return and return system", and defines waste management items that produce the producers and mechanismscontrol for individual and collective systems that are created.That is, it would lead to pay the 'ecotasa' to those who contaminate.
Once this law enters into force, fashion chains could slightly increase the price of their garments to pay for the recycling of those that do not sell, reduce their production slightly, or both things.
On the other hand, the future law establishes a calendar of implementation of new separate collection of waste for valuation, in addition to the existing one for paper, metals, plastic and glass.Thus the separate collection is extended to domestic biorers, from 2022 for local entities with more than 5.000 inhabitants, and from 2024 for the rest of the municipalities;To textile waste, used kitchen oils, hazardous domestic waste and bulky waste from 2025.
Contaminated waste and soil law
The draft Law on Contaminated Waste and Soils, which was submitted in greater by the Council of Ministers to the Cortes, aspires to become the first law that incorporates in Spain the circular economy package of the European Union and that introduces important novelties,among others, a new taxation, restrictions on single -use plastics and the expanded responsibility of the producer.
This regulation is about the transposition of a European directive that is expected to enter into force on January 1, 2025 maximum.
