Abstract
This report looks at the macroeconomic effects of different scenarios of Extended Producer Responsibility for consumer textiles in Norway. It quantifies not only the effects on the textile consumption, but also the ripple effects on the Norwegian economy and in global value chains of a reduction in household consumption of textiles driven by higher prices, of the investment of collected eco-fees in the textile waste management, and of the consumption shift to other goods and services. We find that, on the medium and long term, the total economic effects, employment, and carbon emissions are highly dependent on what consumers spend the income saved by avoided clothing consumption.
