PARIS – In an exclusive interview with Ecotextile News at last week’s Première Vision, Euratex president Mario Jorge Machado spelt out his ambitions to improve the sustainability of the European textile industry while protecting economic viability.
In addition to calling for harmonised sustainability regulation throughout Europe, he supports efforts to eliminate the de minimus exemption for imports – a nod to improving supply chain traceability – and also wants tax breaks for sustainably made goods.
