O decizie majoră a UE a intrat azi în vigoare: Marile companii nu mai au voie să distrugă hainele nevândute. Ce se întâmplă cu ele

The EU has implemented a ban on large companies destroying unsold clothing and footwear, effective from July 19, 2026. This regulation aims to reduce waste and promote sustainable practices in the textile industry. Medium-sized enterprises are expected to follow suit by 2030. The initiative is part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which seeks to minimize environmental damage and enhance competition for businesses adopting sustainable models. Companies are encouraged to manage their stock more efficiently and explore alternatives like resale and donations.
