EU Textile Waste Pressure on Fashion Brands
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 legislation will require producers to fund textile collection, sorting, and recycling through extended producer responsibility schemes.
Why it matters:
- The EU aims to shift from linear to circular textile models to reduce environmental harm.
- Fashion brands face challenges balancing growth with meeting the EU’s 2030 climate goals.
- Transparency and sustainable materials are key to industry progress, though recycled fibers remain costly.
What to do next:
- Evaluate your textile consumption and consider supporting circular fashion initiatives.
- Look for brands adopting take-back and recycling programs.
- Prioritize products with transparent supply chains and sustainable materials.
