New data from the European Environment Agency shows that EU citizens are buying more textile products through online shopping than ever before, and especially from brands that sell cheaper products in large volumes, otherwise known as fast fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The report comes as EU institutions are finalizing new rules for textile waste management across Europe, which will make fashion brands pay a fee for the processing of their products once they become waste, in an attempt to encourage them to sell more sustainable and longer-lasting items. By 2030, the EU wants all textile products that are placed on the EU market to be durable, repairable and recyclable. Online marketplaces and social media have \u201cbeen instrumental in the growth of fast fashion in recent years,\u201d the EEA\u2019s report notes, allowing retailers \u201cto constantly offer consumers new styles at exceedingly low prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Out of all the different types of products that European households consume \u2014 like food, gas and electricity, or health products \u2014 garments and footwear are the fifth most resource-intensive category. According to the report, 234 million metric tons of raw materials, like fuel and cotton, were used to produce all the textile consumed by EU households. That\u2019s a lot less than in 2010, however, which suggests that fewer resources are needed per item of clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/record-online-shopping-fueling-europes-textile-waste-problem-watchdog-warns\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-688\/\">Record online shopping fueling Europe\u2019s textile waste problem, watchdog warns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,696,18319,4776],"class_list":["post-138486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-online-shopping","tag-textile-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138486\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
