Part of situation: EU unsold clothing ban enforced (32 clusters)

EU bans destruction of unsold clothing, shoes and accessories

EU regulation unsold clothing ban textile waste circular economy fast fashion

From 19 July 2026 the European Union’s Ecodesign Regulation (EU 2024/1781) prohibits large textile companies from destroying unsold garments, shoes and accessories. The rule obliges firms to offer remaining stock for resale, donation, recycling or other forms of reuse, with exemptions only for products that are dangerous, damaged, contaminated or otherwise unsuitable for further use. Medium‑sized firms will be subject to the same requirements from 2030, while small enterprises are exempt.

The EU estimates that 4‑9 % of all textiles placed on the market – up to 594 000 tonnes annually – are currently destroyed, generating roughly 5.6 million tonnes of CO₂. Trade groups say the ban could increase discounted stock in outlets and boost circular‑economy markets, but they also warn of higher logistics, storage and documentation costs for retailers. Some industry voices call the measure symbolic, noting that many firms already avoid waste, while others see it as a step toward reducing fast‑fashion waste.

The regulation also requires companies to publish annual data on the volume and destination of unsold goods, aiming to improve transparency and encourage more sustainable product‑design practices across the EU fashion sector.
