EURATEX Vision for A European Textiles and Clothing Strategy
EURATEX released its vision for a new EU strategy for textiles and clothing. The new strategy should develop a forward-looking business model. It would lay down the foundations for a competitive and sustainable European textiles industry.
The European Commission should publish before the end of 2021 an “EU Sustainable Textiles Strategy." It will also develop a “transition pathway” for the textiles sector – being one of the fourteen critical ecosystems of the EU’s new Industrial Strategy.
EURATEX wants to contribute actively to this process, to make sure we can develop a forward-looking business model, laying the foundations for a competitive and sustainable European textiles industry.
