The European Union is poised to introduce new regulations that would require clothing brands to take responsibility for the recycling of their products.
The efficacy of these regulations is uncertain, as they do not go far enough to address the sheer volume of textile waste generated by the fashion industry.
Critics argue that the regulations should be more ambitious and should include incentives for brands to produce more sustainable clothing.
The European Parliament is eager to expedite legislation, even if precise data and targets are yet to be established.
