Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Circular Economy as it relates to Consumer Durables: Discussion

Ms Claire Downey:

We do not have a clear picture of how we will collect the additional textiles. There are existing collection points, including the charity retail outlets, and there are existing textile banks. The circular textile study examined what other means of collection would meet a separate collection obligation. The findings of that study have been published and are with the Department, with a view to its considering what will facilitate this.
