New Sustainability Regulations Reshape Textile and Fashion Industries in the EU and US

Evolving Textile and Fashion Regulations: Key Updates

The textile and fashion industries face new regulations emphasizing sustainability, transparency, and human rights. The European Union implemented the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), focusing on product durability, reparability, and recyclability. Mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will require producers to support textile collection and recycling. Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will standardize environmental data, aiding compliance and supply chain collaboration. Additional laws target forced labor, deforestation, and chemical safety.

Why it matters:
• Regulations demand greater transparency and accountability across supply chains.
• Compliance requires investment in data collection and product lifecycle analysis.
• New rules create opportunities for sustainable design and market differentiation.

What to do next:
• Begin assessing your supply chain’s environmental and social impacts using standardized data tools.
• Plan for integration of Digital Product Passports once rules are finalized in 2025–2027.
• Monitor and prepare for upcoming restricted chemical and forced labor legislation.
