The EU Textile Strategy was adopted in 2022, setting out to make “fast fashion out of fashion”. But it fell short by focusing too much on specific product requirements, and less about the bigger issue of overproduction and the harmful purchasing practices which drive it.

Now the new MEPs and policymakers have an opportunity to go even further. Together with our civil society partners we call on them to set policies to regulate what’s in our clothes, protect the people who make them, and control the way they are sold.
