EU Pushes Fashion Brands to Reduce Textile Waste
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. New EU 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 protect natural resources.
- Fast fashion remains a significant challenge due to entrenched production and consumption systems.
- Transparency tools like the digital product passport will reveal supply chain details, promoting accountability.
What to do next:
- Explore circular business models such as product sharing, leasing, or take-back programs.
- Prioritize the use of recycled and sustainable materials in product lines.
- Support repair and recycling initiatives to extend garment lifespan.
