@EUCommission man hat hoffentlich auch den Export dieser Textilen verboten denn ansonsten verlagert man die Vernichtung und es wäre Greenwashing wovon ich ausgehe.
und mit unseren Altkleidern haben wir schon verschiedene Wirtschaftsräume im Bereich der Textilien zerstört.

@EUCommission it’s probably better for public health to incinerate synthetic and mixed material clothes before they contaminate the water

I hope the execution will be as good as is the aim of this.
I wish you success in this, @EUCommission

«…the ESPR requires companies to disclose information on the unsold consumer products they discard as waste. It also introduces a ban on the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear.»
Once again, since avoiding to mention enforcement seems to be the norm with such announcements:
1) Are there consequences for not disclosing such information?
2) Are there consequences for destroying textiles in spite of the announced ban? What are they? -

@EUCommission One of the oldest building technologies was plaster and burlap. It should be blatantly obvious that a greater range of textiles should be manufactured for multiple uses.
This is PREscient ethics/math, and the fact that these measures as post de facto negligence, are further penalizing taxpayers, is just as much - if not more abhorrent than the inherent neglect.
Reform, because we have less and less CRUNCH time to adapt.

@EUCommission So, large companies will have to resort to more non-EU production (if possible...) and do more abusive landfill with the excessive production (as they already do it).
As noted by others, it's all about: 1) how it will be investigated, 2) what happens next
Because I fear the answers are: 1) a (ridiculous) voluntary disclosure, 2) nothing will be enforced for non-EU productionsAs usual, the base idea is great, but it applies to a fictional world.

@EUCommission your donated clothing ends up being resold in Third World countries like mine... hope you have a good way to figure it out other than yet more directives

@EUCommission very few of the clothes sold in EU are produced in EU.
But if a customer orders three sizes of T-shirts from Amazon, keeps the one that fits, and returns the other two, the returned apparel will usually go to a return hub in the same EU country.

@EUCommission Having minimum standards that prevent the import or manufacture of clothing that effectively already is trash when it hits the shelves would be preferable though.
