Uniunea Europeană interzice distrugerea hainelor, încălțămintei și accesoriilor nevândute de către marile companii. În 2024, românii au cheltuit 12 miliarde de euro pe haine – Aleph News

The European Union has implemented a ban on the destruction of unsold clothing and footwear by large companies, aiming to reduce textile waste. This regulation requires companies to redirect unsold items for resale, donation, or recycling, with destruction allowed only in specific cases. The ban will extend to medium-sized companies by 2030, while small businesses are exempt. The EU seeks to address the significant textile waste issue, with 6.94 million tons generated in 2022, and promote more sustainable practices in the fashion industry.
