#EU #textiles

The EU #textilestrategy to tackle the consequences of #fastfashion and textile overconsumption isn't dead yet (PR as of Feb 19):

"Council and Parliament agree to [...] set new rules on waste textile

Today, the Council presidency and European Parliament representatives reached a provisional agreement on the targeted revision of the waste framework directive, setting [...] measures towards a more sustainable and less waste-producing textile sector."

So happy about this result. A smart revision of the #textilelabelling regulation is key to achieve circular economy and promote innovations in the textile sector - now it is up to @EU_Growth to deliver. #textilestrategy #circulareconomy
