The EU is taking a major step toward a more sustainable fashion industry. From **19 July 2026**, large companies across the European Union are banned from destroying unsold clothes, clothing accessories, and footwear.
Instead, businesses will be encouraged to sell, discount, donate, repair, refurbish, or prepare unsold fashion items for reuse. Medium-sized companies will face the same rules from 2030.
With millions of tonnes of textiles destroyed before they are ever used, this new regulation could be a major turning point for fashion waste, sustainability, and the future of the circular fashion economy
