Connect with leading marine scientists and join an interactive policy exchange on the European Parliament esplanade in Brussels for EU Ocean Week 2026! In collaboration with Seas At Risk and The Pew Charitable Trusts, we invite you to join scientists and experts on textiles and microplastics to discuss solutions for microplastic pollution from textiles. Come and find our giant whale outside the European Parliament and add your messages of support to curb microplastic pollution!
The EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will require mandatory minimum ecodesign requirements for apparel and a Digital Product Passport for all garments. Join this ECOS webinar as we assess the timeline and progress of this delegated act and discuss opportunities to get involved.
Textiles are among the most significant sources of environmental microplastic pollution in the EU. The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation offers an opportunity to introduce mandatory ecodesign requirements on microplastics release to help address this growing environmental concern. We outline recommendations for the delegated act on ecodesign for apparel, drawing on published standardised methodologies (ISO 4484 series).
