Innovative Circular EPR Solutions for Textiles & Electronics

Thomas More University of Applied Sciences offers a multidisciplinary team that designs, pilots and scales innovative Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) models. We combine policy-oriented research—designing and testing transparent circular governance structures, running systematic stakeholder mapping to align brands, municipalities, NGOs and recyclers, and building advanced data-simulation tools such as ecomodulation scenarios—with applied living-lab work on collection and reverse-logistics solutions that preserve product integrity, capacity-building programmes for Producer Responsibility Organisations, and, crucially, in-depth consumer studies that reveal behavioural levers for reuse, repair and return. This fully integrated approach quantifies environmental and economic impacts, translates insights into evidence-based policy guidance, and delivers metrics for EPR decision-makers.
