Executive Summary
Fast fashion has a heavy environmental price tag. The bioeconomy offers a stylish alternative: textiles made from sustainably managed forests and natural fibers like hemp and flax, supporting a circular and regional fashion industry.
Key Metrics
- 2027-2028: ESPR delegated acts on eco-design requirements for textiles.
Core Content
The Challenge
The textile industry is a major polluter, often relying on synthetic fibers (microplastics) or water-intensive crops. Consumers want sustainable options, but „greenwashing” makes it hard to choose.
The Solution
The EU is championing bio-based textiles—both natural fibers (wool, flax, hemp) and man-made cellulosic fibers (from wood).
* Ecodesign Rules: The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will set strict performance and durability standards.
* Transparency: The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) will be updated to better reflect the benefits of bio-based fibers, like microplastic avoidance.
* Local Chains: Supporting EU wool processing and farmer income diversification.
The Impact
This shift promises:
* Traceable, regionally rooted supply chains.
* Reduced microplastic release.
* Revitalization of rural regions through flax and hemp cultivation.
* High-quality, durable clothing that respects the planet.
