(10) Having regard to the Union’s commitment to the ambition set out in SDG Target 12.3, the setting of food waste reduction targets to be achieved by Member States by 2030 should provide a strong policy impulse to take action and ensure a significant contribution to global targets. However, given the legally binding nature of suchThe targets, they should be proportionate and feasible, and take into account the role of different actors in the food supply chain as well as their capacity (in particular micro and small enterprises). The establishment of legally binding targets should thus follow a step-wise approach, starting with a level which is lower than the one set under the SDG, with a view to ensuring a consistent response of Member States and tangible progress towards Target 12.3.

(15) In order to ensure that the step- wise approach towards the achievement of the global target delivers its objectives, tThe levels set for the legally binding targets on reduction of food waste, should be reviewed and revised, if appropriate, to take into account the progress made by Member States over time. This would allow for a possible adjustment of the targets in view of strengthening the Union’s contribution and further aligning with SDG Target 12.3, to be reached by 2030 and providing direction for further progress beyond that date.

(25) In view of the key role of social enterprises and social economy entities in the existing textile collection systems and their potential to create local, sustainable, participatory and inclusive businesses models and quality jobs in the Union, in line with the objectives of the EU Social Economy Action Plan79 , the introduction of extended producer responsibility schemes should maintain and support the activities of social enterprises and social economy entities involved in used and waste textiles management. These entities therefore should be regarded as partners in the separate collection systems supporting the scale-up of re-preparation for re-use, re- use and repair and creating quality jobs for all and in particular for vulnerable groups. _________________ 79 COM (2021) 778 final of 9 December 2021.

(32) Exports of used and waste textiles outside the EU have been steadily increasing with exports representing the greatest share of the re-use market for post- consumer textiles generated in the EU. In view of the significant increase of the collected textile waste after the introduction of separate collection by 2025 it is important to strengthen the efforts to combat illegal shipments of waste to third countries disguised as non-waste for the purpose of ensuring high environmental protection. Building on Regulation …/… [P.O. insert the institutions and serial number, and complete the footnote for the Regulation on the Shipment of waste]84 and in view of the objective to ensure the sustainable management of post-consumer textiles and tackle illegal shipments of waste, it should be provided that all separately collected used textiles, textile- related and footwear products undergo a sorting operation prior to their shipment. Furthermore, it should be provided that all separately collected used textile, textile- related and footwear items are regarded as waste and subject to Union waste legislation, including on the shipments of waste, until they have undergone a sorting operation by a trained sorting for re-use and recycling operator. The sorting should be carried out in accordance with the harmonised sorting requirements that deliver high quality re-usable fraction that meet the needs of the receiving second hand textile markets in the EU and globally and by establishing criteria to distinguish between used goods and waste. Shipments of used textiles, textile-related and footwear products should be accompanied by information demonstrating that those items are the output of a sorting or a preparing for re-use operation and that the items are suitable for re-use. At the same time, it must be acknowledged that not all reusable second-hand clothes that are exported are reused in recipient countries and might be discarded without use, overwhelming the recipient countries’ waste management systems. Additional measures to reduce exports of second- hand textiles by maximising local re-use should be prioritised. _________________ 84 OJ to insert the reference number once adopted.
