Compliance

EPR & textile sustainability compliance

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) shifts the cost and responsibility for a product's end-of-life impact onto the businesses that place it on the market. It's already live for packaging in the UK, and textiles are actively moving in the same direction. WRAP UK's Textiles 2030 initiative and government consultation on a mandatory textiles EPR scheme are the clearest signals of where regulation is heading.

Where this stands today:a UK-wide mandatory EPR scheme specifically for textiles is not yet in force at the time of writing. Treat any date or scope claim here as needing a check against the current government/WRAP UK position before this page goes live. What's already real: buyers and retailers increasingly expect suppliers to evidence sustainable production practices ahead of formal regulation catching up.

What MakeFit AI actually checks

Every Garment DNA report (Readiness Essentials and above) includes a compliance notes section that checks your spec against named standards, including UK EPR textile expectations and general sustainability benchmarks such as WRAP UK's, and flags each one pass, flag, or fail with a source citation.

This is a readiness signal, not a certification. It tells you where your spec likely stands against named standards so you can address gaps before production. It is not a substitute for formal compliance certification, legal advice, or a registered compliance scheme, if and when one becomes mandatory for your business.

White-label reporting

Manufacturer Governance plan customers can export compliance-inclusive reports with white-label branding, for forwarding to retail buyers or auditors as part of your own documentation trail.
