Stricter rules may be coming as Brussels wants textile producers to clean up their act

Environment commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius called textiles the “new plastic” when it comes to trash. Draft EU rules will aim to require information on clothing labels about the resources used in manufacturing and set sustainability obligations for producers seeking access to the €500bn European single market for textiles and apparel, he said.

The EU announced in December an unprecedented green deal to become the first climate-neutral continent through an economic overhaul that will affect industries ranging from energy to agriculture. The 29-year-old Sinkevicius downplayed the prospect of conflict with textile manufacturers and importers, saying many companies now see business opportunities in tighter environmental regulation.
