The fashion industry produces 92 million tonnes of waste. It is also responsible for 10% of the world\u2019s carbon emissions. The ugly truth is that the way that the fashion industry does business is making an unsustainable impact on natural resources and the environment at each stage of the supply chain.<\/p>\n

So what can be done to minimise an industry-wide problem’s carbon and environmental footprints? Well, this is where the new EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles<\/a> comes into play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Is It Empowering the Green Transition?<\/h3>\n

More than just another set of rigid rules, the new EU textiles strategy is driven to address the need for businesses to take responsibility and act to minimise their carbon and environmental footprints. Proposed by the EU Commission, the plan has been set up to help the EU shift to a circular economy that can tackle fast fashion, textile waste and the destruction of unsold textiles. The strategy also aims to encourage businesses to participate actively in the co-creation process through their commitments to circularity and circular business models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

As part of the EU Green Deal<\/a>, the strategy proposes to make sustainable products “the norm in the EU.” Pushing forward the idea that all production fully respects social rights, the plan also calls on companies to make textiles more durable, repairable, reusable and recyclable.<\/p>\n

Bringing attention to a product\u2019s lifecycle, the strategy focuses on design through to end-of-life. The agenda is to kickstart actions that ensure that by 2030 textile products placed on the EU market will be more eco-friendly and long-lasting.<\/p>\n

With so much change promised, the Commission\u2019s proposal of new rules can be complex for some to unpack. So here are ten things you need to know about the new EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
