Evolving Textile and Fashion Regulations Update
New sustainability and transparency rules are emerging globally for textiles and fashion. The EU has introduced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation focusing on durability and recyclability. It also mandates Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles, with micro-enterprises given a 3.5-year transition. Digital Product Passports will track product data. The US and EU are enforcing forced labour prohibitions, and new chemical restrictions are set by the EU REACH updates.
Why it matters: • Regulations push for sustainable product design and circular economy practices. • New rules require traceability and transparency across supply chains. • Industries face compliance deadlines affecting production and reporting.
What to do next: • Assess current products and supply chains for compliance gaps. • Begin collecting and digitising environmental and product data. • Develop strategies to meet new EPR and forced labour reporting requirements.
