The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles adopted in 2022 and its complementary parliamentary resolution represented a landmark moment on the road to more accountability in the textile sector. The much-needed policies set out in the Textile Strategy which were initiated during the last mandate must continue to be developed and implemented in the direction of environmental and social justice.

At the same time, the Textile Strategy fell short on ambition. This is why in this new legislative cycle, policymakers must build on the foundations laid in the last mandate and work on developing the further necessary actions to build a fair and sustainable sector.

In this document, we have laid out our priority calls for the 2024-2029 legislature.
