BALTIMORE - Dozens of trade associations from the fashion, footwear and recycling industries have issued a joint call for governments to urgently modernise textile labelling requirements.
Organisations such as the Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association (SMART) have joined more than 130 fashion and textile industry representatives from around the world to urge the introduction of unified digital labeling (QR codes) for clothing which, the #CutTheTape campaign argues, would advance sustainability, circularity and authenticity solutions in the fashion and textile recycling sectors.
