Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
Amendment 413

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 7
Directive 2008/98/EC
Article 22 c – paragraph 11
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| 11. Without prejudice to paragraph 5, points (a) and (b), and paragraph 6, point (a), Member States shall ensure that social enterprises are allowed to maintain and operate their own separate collection points and that they are given equal or preferential treatment in the location of the separate collection points. Member States shall ensure that social enterprises and social economy entities that are part of the connected collection points in accordance with paragraph 6, point (a) are not required to hand over collected used and waste textiles, textile-related and footwear products listed in Annex IVc to the producer responsibility organisation. | 11. Without prejudice to paragraph 5, points (a) and (b), and paragraph 6, point (a), Member States shall ensure that social enterprises are allowed to maintain and operate their own separate collection points and that they are given equal or preferential treatment in the location of the separate collection points. Member States shall ensure that local public authorities and social enterprises that are part of the connected collection points in accordance with paragraph 6, point (a) are not required to hand over collected used textiles, textile-related and footwear products listed in Annex IVc to the producer responsibility organisation. |
Or. en
Justification
There should be a mandatory involvement of municipalities in the implementation of EPR-systems for textiles. This is missing in the proposal and needs to be added, especially to ensure a uniform, regional organisation of the separate collection of textiles by the municipalities with the involvement of local social enterprises. Social enterprises should not be obliged to hand over used textiles to PROs, before or after sorting as such social enterprises make these used textiles available either for sale as second hand textiles or by donation to those in need. It is as important that the waste textiles not eligible for reuse but destined for recycling or destruction, are delivered to the relevant PRO and its contracted waste treatment installations.

Justification
Separately collected textile waste is not a by-product from a production process and therefore Art. 5 does not apply. In order to ensure that sufficient organisation and investment is put in place to ensure the separate collection and treatment of textile waste takes place, it is important to ensure that all textiles collected in bins, whether door to door, bring system or in a civic amenity site are subject to the waste status and permit obligations.

Member States shall ensure that producer responsibility organisations provide for non-discriminatory selection procedure, based on transparent award criteria, without placing disproportionate burden on small and medium-sized enterprises to procure waste management services from waste management operators referred to in paragraph 6(a) and from waste management operators to carry out subsequent waste treatment. | 18. Member States shall ensure that producer responsibility organisations provide a transparent and non-discriminatory selection procedure for waste management operators, based on clear and fair award criteria. The selection procedure shall recognise the market-based pricing principles that account for economies of scale.

| Separate collection points shall be established to separately collect used textile products and textile waste. Both used textile products and textile waste shall undergo sorting and preparation for re-use, in order to determine the waste and non-waste components. |
Or. en
Justification
Complimentary to AM 98 of the Draft Report, providing further clarification of the intention, that collecting separately the textiles by consumers at the initial stage accelerates the sorting process as well as minimises the contact and contamination of textile waste which is bad from the clothes which with a quick fix could be re-used. However, there is potential for human error, and both streams will have to undergo sorting anyway, but the sorting operation and personnel will find it easier to fix. Idea is to mirror glass collection points, where coloured glass is separated from transparent glass, for instance.

In line with Regulation (EC) 1013/2006 on shipments of waste, as amended by Regulation (EU) ... / ... of the European Parliament and of the Council [P.O. insert serial number for Waste Shipments Regulation revision when adopted]*, textile waste should not be mixed with used textile products. |
Or. en
Justification
Important to maintain consistency with the Waste Shipments Regulation. Need to ensure that textile waste is not being exported under the banner of used textiles, as it unfortunately happens in some cases presently, which then proceed to be landfilled. The likelihood of used textile products being discarded and becoming waste, and being disposed to landfills increases when allowed to be exported and if they are mixed. It is important that there is no legal loophole regarding not-waste status of used textile products, where otherwise it would have been possible to be permitted to be exported under the Waste Shipments Regulation. Crucial to maintain adherence to the waste hierarchy in Article 4.In the Waste Shipments Regulation, textiles are referred to in recitals 11b and 16a, as well as Article 75 paragraph 3a, which regards adding textiles entries on mixtures of waste such as used footwear, clothing and other textile products, including the mixtures of these, to Annex IIIB (i.e. additional green listed waste awaiting inclusion in the relevant annexes to the Basel Convention of the OECD decision as referred to in Article 58 paragraph 1 point (b).
