Number of recognised Service Providers continues to grow
10 June 2026 – Stichting UPV Textiel has presented recognition certificates to a second group of service providers that meet the requirements of the Recognition Scheme. As a result, the number of organisations demonstrably operating in accordance with uniform quality standards across the textile value chain continues to increase.
A transparent textile value chain and reliable reporting begin with clear agreements on how textiles are collected, sorted, reused and recycled. Stichting UPV Textiel’s Recognition Scheme supports this by setting requirements in the area’s of quality, environmental performance and working conditions.
Service providers play an important role in implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles. By working according to the same quality and reporting requirements, greater insight into textile flows and increased transparency throughout the value chain can be achieved. This is essential for meeting the sector’s objectives.
This second certificate presentation highlights the sector’s growing commitment to a professional and future-proof implementation of Textile EPR. Stichting UPV Textiel congratulates all recognised service providers on receiving their certificates and thanks them for their contribution to a circular textile value chain.
