It has not been possible or relevant to suggest specific thresholds at this point of time. Agreed thresholds are likely to differ for different kinds of fibres and different types of products e.g. relevant requirements for underwear will differ widely from relevant requirements for outdoor jackets. The same could also be true of a requirement to state the recycled content of products provided that consumers positively favoured products with recycled content. As well as providing environmental benefits increased collection (reuse) and recycling oftextiles and other products for use in new products could potentially bring new sorting and waste recovery industries to Europe.
