Indie music hit by collateral damage in EU waste crackdown

Original: INTERVIEW: Indie music suffers collateral damage in EU war on waste

Euractiv has published an interview arguing that independent musicians are suffering collateral damage from the European Union's tightening rules on waste. The piece suggests environmental regulations aimed at cutting waste are inadvertently burdening the indie music sector, which relies heavily on physical formats and small-scale merchandising. Concerns centre on how compliance costs and restrictions affect small labels and touring artists.

Why now: New EU waste-reduction rules are being debated for their unintended impact on independent music and physical media.
