Collection since 2001

Slovenia has required separate textile collection since 2001, predating the EU requirement by over two decades. Enforcement was tightened from 1 January 2025. The collection infrastructure is already there; the producer-responsibility layer is what comes next.

How registration works in Slovenia

Textiles EPR in Slovenia does not exist yet. There is no register, no fee, no reporting duty and no compliance scheme for textiles today. The page you are reading covers what has been adopted at EU level and what Slovenia already has in place for textile waste collection.

Selling textiles into Slovenia

Imagine you are a clothing brand selling into the Slovenian market. Today, you have no textile EPR obligation. You do not need to register, report or pay into a scheme.

That changes once Slovenia transposes the revised EU Waste Framework Directive (2025/1892), which entered into force on 16 October 2025.

Member states have about 30 months (around 16 April 2028) to establish a textile and footwear EPR scheme. No Slovenian transposition or draft law has been published as of the research date.

What changes next in Slovenia

The clock is the revised Waste Framework Directive (EU) 2025/1892. It entered into force on 16 October 2025 and gives member states until approximately April 2028 to stand up a textile EPR scheme.

When the scheme arrives, it will likely involve a producer register (possibly through ARSO or a new arrangement), reporting on textiles placed on the market, and fees to fund collection and recycling. None of this is law yet.

The three cost layers (collection, sorting, recycling) that streams like packaging already carry will probably apply. But specific thresholds, exemptions for micro-enterprises and fee structures are all undefined until Slovenia publishes its implementing instrument.
