More clothing is being produced, consumed, and thrown away than ever before, putting immense pressure on our planet. Radical changes in the textile industry are essential to stand any chance of stopping further environmental and climate breakdown and reducing global inequalities, as well as securing human health.  

With the upcoming EU Strategy for Sustainable Textiles insight, the Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) has joined 24 other international organisations to call on EU leaders to take urgent action to rein in the sector and champion a radical textile industry transformation to change how clothes are made, sold, worn – and re-worn. Today we launch our Wardrobe Change campaign, together with a position paper.
