France Approves Bill to Curb Fast Fashion

The French lower house unanimously passes legislation targeting environmental impact of fast fashion, setting a global precedent.

The bill introduces measures including a ban on advertising for the cheapest textiles and an environmental levy on low-cost items.
It aims to reduce the environmental degradation caused by fast fashion, promoting sustainable practices and transparency.
Fast fashion giants are required to disclose their products' environmental impact, encouraging a shift towards more sustainable operations.
The legislation seeks to protect France's high fashion industry and level the playing field against low-cost, mass-produced garments.
Future actions may include a proposed EU-wide ban on the export of used clothing to address textile waste.
