France cracks down on garment and textile waste

The French government is planning to introduce regulations to combat clothing and textile waste to ensure that 'unsold textile products will not be discarded or destroyed from Ming (2019). From Ming (2019), the French government hopes that Ensure that “unsold textile products are neither discarded nor destroyed.” At present, approximately 600,000 tons of clothing, household sheets, shoes and work clothes are discarded in France each year, but only a quarter of the amount is currently recycled The government of French centrist President Emmanuel Macron is committed to adopting the same principles to reduce food waste. A spokesperson for the French Embassy in London said: “Measures with similar intentions have been introduced into the food industry” and added: “Those Those related to the textile industry will be based on this, and unsold textiles will be required to be donated to charity.” How to accurately achieve this goal has not yet been announced, and the French government’s 'Circular Economy Roadmap' policy document has not yet provided precise details-the draft was published in March for public comment. According to a report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a British charity that promotes the world’s circular economy, this initiative is important because France estimates that 600,000 tons of clothing, household sheets, shoes and work clothes are discarded every year, but only a quarter of them are currently discarded. The number of one is recycled. In other words, some major brands operating in France, including Swedish clothing retailer Hennesu0026Mauritz (Hu0026M), are trying to ensure that their clothes are not thrown into landfills. Public relations manager Julie-Marlene Pelissier said: 'We follow the European Union's waste disposal directives, and we have clear practices for handling Hu0026M's surplus products.' According to the company, 'surplus products should be reused in the original form, otherwise they can be reused for other types of products or recycled by cooperating with charities and associations.' She added: 'It is very rare to disrupt the Hu0026M production line. It can only be done if the product does not comply with safety regulations, for example, if the product is infected by mold or does not comply with our strict chemical use regulations. When safe When it is endangered, the product cannot be donated to the charity association.' Ekyog, an ethical fashion brand based in France, said: 'The company will never destroy unsold goods. A company spokesperson said: 'We recycle all products, or we use clearance auctions to destock.'
