EU Targets Food & Textile Waste Reduction
New EU Rules to Curb Waste and Boost Sustainability
Europe Moves to Cut Waste in Food and Fashion Sectors
The European Union is set to introduce new regulations aimed at significantly reducing food and textile waste across member states. The proposed measures, part of the EU’s broader sustainability agenda, will require businesses and consumers to adopt more responsible waste management practices.
The legislation is expected to enforce stricter guidelines on food surplus redistribution, encourage recycling in the textile industry, and promote circular economy principles. EU officials emphasize that the initiative will help cut environmental pollution, lower carbon emissions, and enhance resource efficiency.
Stakeholders from the food and fashion industries have expressed mixed reactions, with some praising the move as a step toward a greener future, while others raise concerns about the potential costs of compliance. The EU remains committed to ensuring a sustainable transition that balances economic and environmental interests.
