The EU has approved a ban on the destruction of unsold clothing. New rules will also ensure products are more enviromentally friendly and that goods are also more easily repaired and recycled.
aimed at fast fashion, so luxury brands are almost certainly exempt
That would depend on the specific wording but if they define minimum standards and the ‘luxury brands’ already fulfill those then I don’t see the problem.
How else would they exempt them? Even the most corrupt lawmakers don’t just write brand names into their legislation.
Luxury brands usually produce in the same places as fast fashion, the only difference is their margin when selling.
If you want it sustainable and with fair working conditions, it’s also cost about the same, but you’d have to look for it (and probably will only find a few products of luxury brands)
That’s why I have my own definition if “luxury”: Sustainable materials, humane working conditions, timeless style, long lasting construction etc.
I have to look for it, especially since I buy second hand, but not very often because of, well, whatever I buy is timeless and long lasting. No need for frequent replacement.
Doesn’t say if they’ll exempt luxury brands. I’d be willing to bet they do.
