Evolving Textile and Fashion Regulations in 2025
The textile and fashion industries face new regulations aimed at sustainability and transparency. The EU introduced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) focusing on durability and recyclability. Digital Product Passports will track product environmental data. The EU also mandates Extended Producer Responsibility and new chemicals restrictions. Forced labour laws tighten in the US, EU and UK. Deforestation and chemicals regulations are updated as of mid-2025. Why it matters:
- Brands must comply with new rules on product circularity and traceability.
- Supply chain transparency and digital data become essential for sustainability goals.
- Companies face legal risks from forced labour and deforestation laws.
What to do next:
- Review and adjust product design with durability, reparability, and recyclability in mind.
- Invest in traceability tools and data collection across your supply chain.
- Prepare for extended producer responsibilities and chemical restrictions compliance.
