Deep dives
New EU rules aim to make fashion more sustainable
The podcast explores the new rules introduced by the EU to make the fashion industry more sustainable. The fashion sector is a significant polluter, contributing to 10% of global carbon emissions. Overproduction and unsold inventory are major issues in the industry, with 30% of clothes made never being sold. The new legislation prohibits the destruction of unsold stock and encourages recycling. However, the lack of recycling infrastructure and the need for systemic change pose challenges for the industry.
