Sustainability Regulations & Compliance
Helping retailers navigate evolving sustainability legislation
Regulations are reshaping how products are designed, sold, returned and managed throughout their lifecycle. From Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes to the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), retailers face increasing requirements around circularity, transparency and product stewardship.
Understanding what these regulations mean, and how they affect your business, can be challenging. ReBound helps brands navigate regulatory change and implement practical solutions that support compliance while unlocking circularity opportunities.
Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
Moving beyond the destruction of unsold goods
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces measures designed to promote product circularity and reduce waste. Among these is the prohibition on the destruction of certain unsold consumer products, including textiles.
ReBound helps retailers identify alternative pathways for excess and unsold inventory, including resale, donation, repair and recycling solutions that keep products in use for longer.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
Preparing for the future of textile waste management
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes are being introduced across Europe, making producers increasingly responsible for products at end of life. For retailers, this may mean new obligations relating to product collection, reuse, recycling and reporting.
ReBound helps brands explore circular pathways that can support future EPR requirements while reducing waste and recovering value from products
