Sweden tried to something similar last year, they banned throwing out old clothes with the garbage, you had to hand it in to specific collection points.
In just a few weeks the system was broken and overloaded, they didn't have the capacity to deal with the sudden influx of material.
Very big differences in these laws.
In Sweden they put the responsibility on the consumers. EU is putting the responsibility on the companies.
As you should.
Yes but they have a minimum payment requirement that fucks small business. So the eu will have plenty of big corporate slop and soon be cut off from real independent small businesses.
Germany did something similar. Since then most collection points closed, because they ha to sort through to much unusable clothing that for thrown in there.
