Kurzbeschreibung:

The EU is one of the biggest global markets for textiles and home to many of the sector’s most powerful companies. Decades of voluntary self-regulation have led to textiles and clothing value chains becoming synonymous with the use of huge amounts of our planet’s finite natural resources, pollution from hazardous chemicals, the production of high levels of waste, poor working conditions, and human rights violations.
To end the global overuse of resources and the transgression of planetary boundaries, all industries need to change; the textile industry is no exception. In this position paper, ‘Wardrobe Change’, a coalition of environmental civil society organisations, is calling for the EU Textile Strategy to be a coherent overarching framework which ties together the many different policies that are needed to set Europe on a transformative path to sustainable textile production and consumption.
