Overview: The future of these MSME recycling clusters is uncertain due to shifting market priorities and changing national and international regulations. On the global stage, the EU is implementing sustainability legislation that will affect MSME exporters in India’s recycling clusters. Initiatives under the European Green Deal include restrictions on waste exports to non-OECD countries unless sustainable management practices are in place, the introduction of “digital product passports” to trace supply chains, enforcement of corporate sustainability due diligence, and the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
In response to this evolving landscape, India has introduced its own laws and ESG standards, such as the Harmonised System of Nomenclature (HSN) for tracking recycled product exports and imports, and the BRSR Core, which will become mandatory for the top 1,000 companies and 75% of their suppliers (primarily MSMEs) by 2027-28. As the regulatory environment shifts, MSME recycling clusters in India must adapt to meet new standards in order to maintain their competitive position in the global textile market.
