20 April 2025Since 1 January 2025, the law against waste and for a circular economy, known as AGEC, has required businesses to sort their textile waste. Until now, this has been a voluntary approach.
In addition to the five existing sorting streams (paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, glass, wood, textiles, construction/demolition waste, gypsum and minerals), textiles are now considered to be regulatory waste and must be collected separately and then sorted. This new obligation aims to reduce the textile waste generated by businesses and encourage recycling. Adopted in 2020, the AGEC law aims to accelerate the transformation of the current economic model towards a circular economy. To limit waste production, promote the recovery of materials and encourage the responsible management of resources, it is based around five key areas: reducing single-use plastic, improving consumer information, combating waste, preventing programmed obsolescence and promoting more sustainable production. This law applies to all producers and holders of waste (companies, shops, craftsmen, administrations, local authorities, etc.).
