France’s lower house of Parliament has approved a groundbreaking bill aimed at tackling the issues associated with fast fashion. The bill targets low-cost, mass-produced garments, particularly from China, in an effort to combat the industry’s significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Measures in the bill include banning advertising for the cheapest textiles and imposing an environmental levy on these products. It also calls for greater transparency from fashion companies regarding their products’ environmental impact. The goal is to shift the industry towards more sustainable practices while safeguarding France’s high-end fashion sector. The move has received praise for promoting environmental protection and could potentially influence future actions at the EU level.
