Textile Packaging
For the packaging of textile materials, reference is made to Annex V of Resolution 129/97/EC.
For textile materials not included in this table, and therefore different from "cotton" and "jute", the use of the TEX 62 code is considered appropriate, i.e. the first available number and does not identify any material.
These packages are not part of a separate domestic collection circuit, but refer to a dedicated collection circuit. It is therefore advisable to state the full "fabric" material in the code and to invite the consumer to check the requirements of their municipal authorities.
The Packaging Recycling Directive prevents over-packaging of products and ensures recycling of product packaging waste through the payment of corresponding environmental protection fees, achieving the effect of double protection of resources and the environment.
