What you just see of fast is not what it really is.

Fashion is one of the least sustainable industries worldwide.

We are creating a greener, more competitive textiles sector with the Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles by:

  • tackling greenwashing,
  • restricting the export of textile waste,
  • discouraging the destruction of unsold or returned textiles,
  • setting requirements to make them last longer,
  • and more.
