“When discussing the end-of-life of textiles,” De Salvo continues, “the complexity is high. Not just technically, but also due to diverging interests among manufacturers, textile mills, and large multinationals. Finding an agreement that satisfies all parties is the real challenge.”
Corertex’s stance, aligned with that of Confindustria Toscana Nord and other associations, emphasizes the importance of legislation that considers textile waste as a secondary raw material as soon as it enters the treatment plant. This vision contrasts with the current approach, which tends to delay the cessation of waste qualification until after the recycling process.
