LONDON - Cross-party MPs are calling on the British government to help fix fashion by doing more to support the development of more sustainable fabrics, boost textile recycling and help to bring back manufacturing jobs to the UK.
Those are the key conclusions of a new report, Making the UK a Global Leader in Sustainable Fashion, drawn up by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Ethics and Sustainability in Fashion with support from the Hubbub environmental charity.
It comes a little over a year since the Environmental Audit Committee's report, Fixing Fashion: Clothing Consumption and Sustainability, made a series of recommendations to government, none of which were accepted.
