Destruction of unsold products in the textile sector banned.
The new regulation presents decisive measures to end the harmful and environmentally wasteful practice of destroying unsold consumer products, as stated by the European Commission.
It is time to put an end to the ‘take, produce, dispose’ model, which is harmful to our planet, our health and our economy.
Next steps towards the adoption of the regulation.
The ESPR (European Pillar of Social Rights) regulation will now have to be formally adopted by the Parliament and the Council of Member States in the coming months, with the aim of entering into force by the end of 2024.
Tintoria Emiliana è Upcycling.
Unsold garments and accessories, which are in stock, entrusted to Tintoria Emiliana’s know-how and expertise in Upcycling practices, comply with the strictest international regulations in terms of healthfulness criteria; this allows the parameters of colour fastness to be respected, while respecting the management of chemical, mineral and natural products in favour of the environment.
Each processing/customisation defined with the brand, becomes the concrete possibility of repositioning the articles of clothing on the market. Tintoria Emiliana does not set minimums for this necessary process of product regeneration, but considers it fundamental, defined with the brand, to have a label describing the process and treatment, as today the customer’s attention is changing with respect to the composition of a garment or accessory, and this information enhances the new Upcycling project.
