Robbert has been constructing for the Netherlands Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles which will be effective from 1 July 2023 where the Netherlands is one of the first introducing such regulation in Europe and globally.

As a result of the EPR regulation for textiles, the polluter pays principle now applies manufacturers, importers, and distributors of textile products. They bear the costs and must ensure individually or collectively that they comply with the legal requirements with respect to collection, reuse and recycling of discarded textile products.

In Europe EPR already applies to cars, batteries and accumulators, electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), packaging and single use plastics (SUP).

Robbert incorporated his experience working in one of the largest textile collectors in the Netherlands: Sympany that is aiming at creating circular textiles. In that role he established several companies and advised on a major merger in the sector. Robbert was the first to implement the idea 35 years ago to place containers in cities to collect discarded textiles.

Robbert is excited to share and engage with the NHKBA 21 June 2023 audience.

Climate Truant Stijn was mentioned by King Willem-Alexander, Prinsjesdag, Speech from the Throne September 16, 2020

Stijn is partime Counselor ProDemos in house for democracy and the rule of law and Studies History at the Leiden University, Netherlands
Stijn is also Candidate 2nd Chamber Member Netherlands

Words from Stijn:
I am candidate 2nd Chamber Member because I want to represent the voice of young people in politics. In recent years it has become very clear that the voice of young people is (almost) not heard in Dutch politics. Young people were dissatisfied with the policy that affected them. These young people even took to the streets for this (climate, loan system, BLM, etc.). These young people actually all demanded the same thing; more participation in the policy process. I want to be this voice of the young. I want to represent my generation in politics.

Based on my experiences and feedback that I have received with YouthforClimateNL, I notice that I can and want to be an excellent representative.

As a student I know exactly what kind of problems my generation has. So it's not just about my own experiences, but also those of my contemporaries. I am very much looking forward to discussing this with as many young people as possible throughout the Netherlands.

I want to learn from these discussions and take the key points into account in my work as a Member of Parliament. My goal has always been to engage and connect rather than divide. I will always call for cooperation. I wrote a letter about how the young people should connect with the elderly and look for solutions together.

In the Speech from the Throne, this letter was called the 'core of Prinsjesdag'. As stated in the Speech from the Throne: perspective for the future always starts in the here-and-now. That is the mirror that the adults of tomorrow hold up to the adults of today. What often inspires and motivates me are the Dutch young people themselves. We are at the turning point of a new progressive political generation that I am happy to support.
