Letter to Members of the European Parliament: need for a tangible vision to change the textile sector
ECOS together with other 11 organisations, call for setting 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.
