Description
In March 2022, the European Commission adopted the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.
This announced several regulatory initiatives, such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the revision of the Waste Framework Directive and the revision of the Textile Labelling Regulation.
The Transition Pathway for the Textiles Ecosystem, co-created with stakeholders, was published on 6 June 2023.
It identifies 50 specific actions to help make the EU textiles ecosystem greener, more digital, resilient and competitive. Public and private stakeholders are invited to share their concrete actions to help implement the Transition Pathway via the online call for pledges.
On 1 March 2024, the Commission published the first set of pledges from stakeholders.
