They also called for the introduction of \u2018Ecodesign\u2019 requirements \u2013 which would apply to all textiles and footwear \u2013 and for a tightening up of liability to ensure the new rules would apply to imported products sold online.<br \/>\nA majority of 600 MEPs from all political groups have now voted in favour of this position. Legislation is due to follow that will attempt to combat the overproduction of textile goods.<\/p>\n<p>The decision follows the European Commission\u2019s proposal for its \u2018Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles\u2019 which was released one year ago. The strategy aims to make textiles more \u2018durable, repairable, reusable and recyclable\u2019 based on data that highlights the negative impact the textile sector has on the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Macintosh, Senior Policy Officer for Textiles at the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), said: \u201cMEPs from across the political spectrum have called time on overproduction of textiles by demanding action to prevent textile waste. \u201cNow we need the Commission to respond with a strong plan for managing and reducing the EU&#8217;s soaring levels of discarded clothing.\u00a0\u201cCompanies must pay up for the textile waste they create, in particular, to fund the waste management burden being borne by countries such as Ghana and Kenya who receive unmanageable amounts of exported second-hand clothes from Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Valeria Botta, Head of Nature Protection and Restoration at Environmental Coalition on Standards (ECOS) said: \u201cThe European Parliament&#8217;s message is loud and clear: the textile industry needs to change. It must respect social and environmental rights. \u201cThe report highlighted the nonsense of destroying unsold, unused goods. This unethical practice must be banned as soon as possible for all products: textiles, clothes, footwear, and electronics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe congratulate MEPs for supporting the development of horizontal ecodesign requirements for textiles before focusing on individual products. Now, it&#8217;s up to the European Commission to follow the Parliament&#8217;s high ambitions and set binding reduction targets for the EU\u2019s material and consumption footprints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/european-parliament-shows-red-card-out-control-fashion-industry\">Resource<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/european-parliament-shows-red-card-to-out-of-control-fashion-industry\/\">European Parliament shows red card to \u2018out-of-control\u2019 fashion industry<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,10211,900,2278,10212,10213],"class_list":["post-114616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ep","tag-fashion","tag-industry","tag-out-of-control","tag-red-card"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114616\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
