The European Union Council said Monday it is backing a proposed regulation to set stronger sustainability requirements for the fashion industry.
With the new framework, there would be a ban on destroying unsold textiles, footwear and apparel, with a four-year exemption for medium-sized companies and a general exemption for small companies.
The regulation, which was proposed last year, is part of a larger move by the EU to reform the fashion industry to lower the significant environmental impact of clothes and accessories.
