Over the coming decade, Europe will face the double challenge of tackling environmental and climate impacts while at the same time recovering from the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. From a European consumption perspective, textiles have on average the fourth highest negative life cycle impact on the environment and climate change – after food, housing and mobility. Circular design is key for a successful shift to a circular textiles production and consumption system. The aim of this report is to contribute to the implementation of the EU Strategy for Textiles and the EU Sustainable Product Initiative through an improved understanding of the environmental impacts from textiles. The report identifies design principles and measures as well as policy and consumers behaviour enablers for realising the full potential of circularity in textiles.
Call for Collaboration
According to the European Environmental Bureau, up to 80% of the lifecycle emissions of a smartphone happen in the production phase, transport and sale included. This is why longer lifetimes for smartphones and other electronics are key. If the lifetime of all smartphones in Europe would be extended by just one year, 2.1 million tons of carbon dioxide would be saved per year by 2030. That is the equivalent of taking more than 1 million cars off the road for a year. While the ‘right to repair’ movement already goes back to the 1950s, the European Commission has recently announced an effective ‘right to repair’ in Europe in several strategic documents, including the EU Green Deal.
