"Be clear about where the green claim you're making starts and ends." That's the advice from #MakeTheLabelCount member @GHardingRolls for brands to avoid greenwashing.
As environmental claims by fashion brands face increased scrutiny, #MaketheLabelCount member @GHardingRolls shares advice on navigating product labelling and avoiding greenwashing.
Fashion is drowning in greenwashing due to self-governed ‘sustainability’ definitions by brands. As a result, regulation & harmonised sustainability language for consumers are crucial. @GHardingRolls from #MaketheLabelCount explains why sustainability claims need regulation.
We welcome the @EU_Commission proposal to substantiate environmental claims & are pleased to see PEF’s shortcomings recognised. We will review the recommended criteria & work with lawmakers to ensure the law is aligned with the EU’s goals.

>50% of green claims made by clothing & textile brands are unsubstantiated or untrue, according to the @EU_Commission's recent webpage sweep. PEF methodology can substantiate these claims if updated to include key environmental impacts. Hear from #MaketheLabelCount @WhiteDalena.
Credible sustainability labelling has the potential to make the fashion and textile industry greener and empower consumers to make informed choices. EU policy makers have a crucial role to play in ensuring the PEF methodology is robust and complete. #MakeTheLabelCount
2/2 The omission of indicators linked to synthetic clothing, including microplastics, plastic waste and circularity will result in clothing made from fossil materials being shown as more sustainable, misleading well-intended consumers. #MakeTheLabelCount
Our clothing is made up of a broad range of fibres with an even broader range of impacts on society and the natural world.
We have identified three key improvements for the current PEF methodology - microplastic pollution, circularity, and plastic waste.

Please ensure upcoming textile legislation is based on science. We've just run out of time for fiddling about.

Ensuring sustainable production and consumption of textile is key to countering #ClimateChange! Clear message to @EU_Commission about combatting greenwashing and informing consumers on products’ environmental impact 👇
The conversation about greenwashing in fashion is growing. It is vitally important that assessments of the sustainability impacts of our clothing are credible. #MakeTheLabelCount

The European Commission could make huge strides in helping consumers choose more sustainable clothes with the upcoming green claims proposals. But the plans will only be credible if the PEF methodology is complete. #MakeTheLabelCount
The EU aims to put a stop to greenwashing claims through a new labelling methodology. We need to make sure it’s robust and credible to avoid misleading consumers.
We're working to ensure the EU's clothing sustainability claims are complete to #MakeTheLabelCount
PEF is a commendable initiative that has the potential to enable the EU to shift textile supply chains towards more sustainable consumption. But the system is not ready.

Only products made from renewable raw materials can be truly sustainable. The inherently circular attributes of natural fibers, including renewability at start-of-life and biodegradability at the end of life need to be accounted for in a credible product claim. #MakeTheLabelCount
The raw materials for fossil fuel-derived fibres – even recycled ones – took 60m years to form. Natural fibres take as little as 3 months to a year. This needs to be factored in to sustainability labels.

Synthetic fibres shed microplastics. Natural fibres don’t.
Consumers deserve the whole truth.
A sustainability label for clothing that does not account for microplastics is incomplete and misleading. #MakeTheLabelCount

A very informative session. @VSinkevicius is working to address the issue of microplastics by preventing the use of synthetics where they can be avoided and replacing them with more sustainable materials. @EU_ENV

Durability matters for sustainability. Quality garments made from natural fibres can be worn, reworn and eventually recycled. #MakeTheLabelCount
