Textile EPR in Ireland
Published policy roadmap / scheme preparation
Broad research: 6 Oct 2026. Source review coverage is stated below.
The official textiles page returned HTTP 403 during direct reopening. Limit: No 26 October country review date applied; implementation and approvals could not be revalidated.
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
Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment (DCEE); Environmental Protection Agency and local authorities within their respective roles.
Legal basis
National Policy Statement and Roadmap on Circular Textiles 2026–2028, published 2 April 2026 and updated 12 May 2026; statutory textile EPR implementation still requires operative rules.
Product scope
Final national textile EPR scope not verified. Use the EU Annex IVc map in section 2 for readiness; apply the final national annex before calculating 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
No operative textile-specific EPR return verified. Prepare national POM mass, product codes, producer-role and transaction evidence. Continue applicable waste and packaging reporting.
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
Follow the 2026–2028 roadmap actions, textiles advisory process, legislative consultation, separate-collection arrangements and establishment/authorisation of a scheme. Do not turn a roadmap year into a statutory launch date.
Practical risks & controls
Risk: treating participation in advisory work or an existing recycling scheme as legal textile compliance. Mitigation: require final regulations, a textile-specific approval and dated tariffs; prepare Irish sales and weight data now.

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.
