Leitat is strengthening its support for the textile industry in response to new European regulatory challenges linked to sustainability and the circular economy, offering testing, validation and technical advisory services to facilitate compliance with the French Refashion system and its EPR eco-modulation criteria.
The Refashion regulation, already in force in France, is transforming how textile companies manage the sustainability of their products. The system adjusts eco-contribution fees for manufacturers, distributors and brands according to criteria such as durability, recyclability, recycled content and repairability.
In this context, Leitat supports companies in the textile, fashion and home textile sectors through a comprehensive approach combining laboratory capabilities, regulatory expertise and applied R&D to turn regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage.
Testing and technical validation for eco-modulation
To demonstrate compliance with Refashion requirements, companies must provide technical evidence based on standardized and traceable testing methods capable of validating the real performance of textile products.
Through its textile laboratory and applied research capabilities, Leitat offers:
• Textile durability testing
• Dimensional stability validation
• Colour fastness testing
• Composition analysis and fibre identification
• Recycled content verification
• Recyclability and product quality assessment
These services cover garments and home textiles, including bed linen, trousers, denim, dresses, skirts, shirts, pyjamas and knitwear.
From regulatory compliance to competitive advantage
The implementation of this EPR model marks a turning point for the European textile sector. Beyond regulatory compliance, the ability to demonstrate durability, circularity and sustainability is becoming a key differentiator to reduce costs, strengthen brand positioning and anticipate future regulations.
Moreover, the French framework anticipates what will soon arrive in Spain with Re-viste, the future Spanish SCRAP scheme for the textile and footwear sectors.
For this reason, Leitat provides companies with technical and strategic support services aimed at developing more sustainable, competitive products aligned with upcoming European requirements.
Special promotion until July 31
As part of this initiative, Leitat is offering special conditions and discounts on testing and validation services for companies starting the process before July 31.
