An EU law coming into force this year that I only just learnt about:
“a formal ban on destroying unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear will apply to large companies starting 19 July 2026. Medium-sized companies will follow in 2030”
The reason why it’s needed: “Each year in Europe, an estimated 4 to 9 percent of unsold textiles are destroyed before ever reaching consumers.”
Absolutely insane statistic.
