EU Pushes Fashion Brands to Cut Textile Waste
The European Union is increasing pressure on fashion brands to reduce textile waste. In 2022, the average EU citizen bought 19kg of textiles, up from 17kg in 2019. Proposed rules would require producers to fund the collection and recycling of their products.
Why it matters: • The EU aims to shift from linear to circular textile production to reduce environmental impact. • Extended producer responsibility schemes could reshape how brands manage waste. • Transparency tools like digital product passports are key to traceability and sustainability.
What to do next: • Evaluate your clothing purchases and prioritize quality and durability. • Support brands that adopt circular business models like repair, resale, and recycling. • Learn about sustainable materials and the impact of cotton in your wardrobe.
