European Environmental Agency (EEA) published an interview with their expert Lars Mortensen. The interview summarizes the main impacts of textiles on climate and environment and what currently happens to clothes discarded in the EU. The text also outlines what can policymakers, businesses and consumers do to reduce the impacts and exports of used textiles, what role can bio-based fibres play in making textiles more sustainable and what is the EU doing to tackle negative impacts from textiles.
