The Textile Labelling Regulation has not been substantially updated since 2011. Since then, the EU textiles policy landscape has evolved significantly - making several elements of the current framework outdated. Together with European Branded Clothing Association, EuroCommerce, Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry, and Recycling Europe, the Policy Hub issued a joint statement calling on the European Commission to proceed with a targeted and timely revision of the Textile Labelling Regulation.
The objective is not to reopen the entire framework, but to modernise the elements that are no longer fit for purpose and ensure the Regulation can support the implementation of the EU's broader textiles policy framework. Our joint call identifies four priority areas:
• Updating fibre names and tolerance margins so that the framework reflects the growing use of recycled, organic and novel materials and enables reliable communication of fibre composition and recycled content;
• Enabling the digitalisation of textile labelling and reducing the amount of mandatory information on physical labels, which are lengthy and often removed by consumers;
• Addressing fragmentation caused by divergent national labelling requirements, including language mandates, national symbols and label format rules, to better support the functioning of the Single Market;
• Ensuring a clear distinction between the Textile Labelling Regulation and the Digital Product Passport, while avoiding duplication and carefully assessing the need for any additional textile labels or information requirements. Read our full statement below.
