Sustainability

How should fabric designers and producers prepare and prioritise preparing for EU legislation relevant for textiles?

PERFORMANCE DAYS, Munich

Expert Talks Stage

Wednesday 23rd October 2024

10:00 - 10:30 CEST

In the last year a whole wave of sustainability legislation have been approved by the EU institutions, addressing textiles and apparel – regardless if garments are made in the EU or just sold in the EU. In addition, further critical requirements are yet to be adopted. These rules are not advisory; if you do not comply - you will not be able to operate in the EU market. This expert talk will give the audience the latest update of the obligations the most critical pieces of legislation outline and provide a timeframe for implementation. Although all of this may feel overwhelming for companies, the expert talk will in addition guide the audience in prioritising and preparing for compliance.
