Masterclass developed with the support of the European Commission
At this masterclass, we will discuss EU Textile Strategy 2030 and its significant influence on product design within the textile industry. This session sheds light on the introduction of eco-design performance requirements, aimed at enhancing product durability, repairability, and recyclability. Additionally, the legislation will mandate information requirements through digital product passports, facilitating greater transparency across the supply chain for both consumers and regulators.
