Evolving Regulations Shape Textile and Fashion Industries
Recent regulatory updates are guiding the textile and fashion sectors toward sustainability, transparency, and human rights protection. The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) prioritizes textiles with requirements for durability, reparability, and recyclability. Other laws in the US and France target similar goals, including forced labor bans and environmental reporting.
Why it matters:
- New rules demand producers to take responsibility for product lifecycle costs and environmental impact.
- Digital Product Passports will improve traceability and consumer information on sustainability.
- Businesses must prepare for compliance deadlines, with some transition periods for smaller enterprises.
What to do next:
- Review product design for durability and recyclability in line with ESPR requirements.
- Start integrating digital tracking systems and gathering environmental data for products.
- Monitor legislative timelines and update corporate sustainability reporting accordingly.
