Textile EPR in Croatia
Separate collection/take-back framework; sector EPR operation not verified
Broad research: 6 Oct 2026 · Selected verification: 2 Nov 2026. Source review coverage is stated below.
The official 2015 textile and footwear waste rule was reopened; it remains evidence of waste-handling duties, not a newly verified financed PRO. Limit: Historic instrument only; consolidation and current approvals were not fully audited.
Organisations & financing route
No authorised operating textile PRO verified
Constitution & legal approval
Authorised operating textile scheme not verified in the reviewed source pack
Implementation timing
National date not verified; EU establishment deadline 17 April 2028
Next evidence trigger
Final national law, register, scheme authorisation and tariff
Competent authority
Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition; Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (FZOEU).
Legal basis
Textile and Footwear Waste Ordinance NN 99/2015; Waste Management Act NN 84/2021. The existing ordinance has waste-management obligations; a current producer-financed textile PRO tariff was not verified.
Product scope
The existing waste ordinance covers textiles and footwear, including relevant leather/fur products. Classification under that waste ordinance is not itself proof of a textile EPR fee liability.
Fees & financial basis
No operative national textile tariff verified. Treat the value as unresolved; obtain a dated scheme tariff once the national route is established.
Eco-modulation
No operative national textile schedule verified. Future criteria depend on national implementation; a certificate alone does not establish a discount.
Targets & denominators
No country-specific numerical textile EPR quota verified in the source pack. Separate collection duties continue; the revised EU directive does not set one uniform numerical textile quota.
Registration & reporting
Check obligations under the textile waste ordinance, waste records and the RPPO producer register separately. Do not interpret registration for packaging or another stream as registration in a textile EPR regime.
Organisations & approval status
No authorised operating textile PRO verified in the source pack. Collectors, charities and PROs for other streams are separate roles.
Next milestones
Watch textile implementation amendments and FZOEU instructions identifying obliged producers, the funding route and any new return. Retain current retailer/collector obligations where applicable.
Practical risks & controls
Risk: treating FZOEU or a general RPPO account as a textile PRO approval. Mitigation: verify stream-specific legal duties and fee instruments; separate waste-management permits and producer financing.

A constituted organisation, a pilot and an authorised compulsory system have different legal effects. Unresolved scope, approval, tariff and filing questions remain visible in this dossier. Source-page reopening is not a complete current licence audit.
