Joint letter – NGOs call on EU Commission to support strong eco-modulation for textiles in French law

European and French civil society organisations call on the European Commission to let the French draft fast fashion law pass. The 66 signatories highlight that the French law is the first of it’s kind to counter the most harmful commercial practices seen in the fashion sector today.

The law would give Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles more power to penalise fast fashion practices through the ‘eco-modulation of EPR fees’ – waste management fees that producers already pay in France. This could disincentivise particularly wasteful business models and curb overproduction and consumption in the sector.
