Evolving Textile and Fashion Regulations in 2025
Recent legislative activity targets greater sustainability, transparency, and human rights in textiles and fashion. The EU has advanced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), with new rules expected by 2027, while the US and France have introduced laws addressing textile waste and environmental labeling. Digital Product Passports will become mandatory for high-impact products, enhancing traceability and environmental reporting.
Why it matters:
- Increased producer responsibility includes financing textile collection and recycling through extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes.
- Digital Product Passports enable better supply chain transparency and support compliance with environmental footprint assessments.
- New chemical restrictions and forced labor regulations require stricter supply chain oversight and due diligence.
What to do next:
- Prepare for compliance with upcoming EPR schemes and digital passport requirements by mapping supply chains and gathering robust product data.
- Review and adapt reporting practices to meet Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive timelines.
- Assess chemical use and worker protection measures in line with new EU REACH restrictions effective from 2026. Learn more about sustainable textiles and material impact at:
