Letter to Vice President Frans Timmermans: we need to change the textile sector

ECOS and 11 other organisations have sent a letter to European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans, calling for ambitious changes in the textile industry.

The upcoming EU strategy for sustainable textiles should not miss the opportunity to set an ambitious vision for a sustainable and circular EU textile sector which delivers on the EU’s zero pollution objectives and the bloc’s 2050 climate-neutrality target, while advancing the EU’s objectives for the respect of human rights and decent work worldwide.
