Abstract

The textile industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, influencing not only fashion and lifestyle but also socio-economic and environmental issues. This study aims to propose a tax reduction for polyester yarns produced using discarded PET bottles as raw material, with the goal of promoting bottle recycling. To achieve this, an analysis of existing legislation was conducted to determine whether any fiscal benefits apply to products made from recycled materials. The analysis revealed that the only possibility is a reduction in import taxes, which could contribute in some way, but a more significant impact would result from reducing taxes on domestic transactions.
