FDRA POLICY BRIEF: The EU (Green) Strategy for Textiles
The European Union’s (EU’s) comprehensive strategy for textiles comes out of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, which resulted from the EU’s Green Deal law. It is the overarching regulatory strategy and plan for Europe - covering issues from production, materials, and end of life.
It is vital for footwear companies to understand this overall strategy to fully understand the mix of regulations being debated and enacted, and how to prioritize and prepare.
