Sustainability is the buzzword when it comes to fashion.
Our strategy for sustainable and circular textiles ensures that by 2030, all textile products placed on the EU market are socially and environmentally friendly.
By demanding durability, repairability and recyclability, we can make a difference.

@EU_Commission I hope this goes well! I get very annoyed when clothes last less than a year.
@EU_Commission 'Refuse' should be there too. Refuse plastic, for example, and use a zero waste shop.

Eine einfache Erhöhung der Garantiezeit in der EU auf 5 Jahre würde schon viel bewirken. Man muss nicht immer neue Gesetze schaffen!

Simply increasing the warranty in the EU to 5 years would go a long way. You don't always have to create new laws!
@EU_Commission
Considering that the market pushes to produce "things" at the lowest possible cost and producers recover lost profits with the after market or with consumables, if you don't put a limit on the cost of spare parts it will always be better to buy the good in any case new.
Let's take an LCD television for example, the television can be purchased for €200 only the LCD screen costs €150/180 in these conditions it makes no sense to repair it also considering the cost of labour.
@EU_Commission does that mean, that the EU stands for the #righttorepair?
