(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-use and repair and creating quality jobs for all and in particular for vulnerable groups. _________________ 79 COM (2021) 778 final of 9 December 2021.
