The UK produces 1 million tonnes of textile waste each year. These companies must provide the government with their plan on what they are doing to reduce their waste.

The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the worlds carbon emissions. Push companies to use materials that don’t require a carbon intensive process to produce.

Consider the EAC’s proposal of a 1p tax on all garments in order to produce the funds for better clothing collection and sorting (recycling).
