The European policy and regulatory landscape for the textile industry has been fundamentally changing. A package of EU policies and upcoming regulations are redefining how textile products are made, sold and consumed in the EU. A review has been launched of the EU Textiles Labelling Regulation. Textile fibres and fibre innovations are an important topic of this planned review. Cornelia Mohor form the European Commission in Brussels will be part at the Dornbirn GFC as plenary speker on Wednesday, 11th of September.

The EU strategy for sustainable and cirular textiles presents the European Commission’s vision for the textile industry and lists a number of key actions the Commission intends to take on. As part of this planning, the Commission will review the EU Textile Labelling Regulation to introduce specifications for physical and digital labelling of textiles, including sustainability and circularity parameters based on requirements under the proposed Regulation on eco-design for sustainable products. The Commission has recently carried out a stakeholder public consultation, with a view to collecting evidence in relation to the functioning of the current
Regulation and the formulation of possible policy options. Textile fibers and fibre innovations are an important topic of this planned review.
