EBCA welcomes the European Commissions initiative for a Circular Economy Act (CEA) to further stimulate circularity and address competitiveness gaps. The upcoming CEA is an unique opportunity to reinforce sector-specific textile policies with strong, horizontal measures and to support the sectors transition to a fair and competitive circular economy.

What they argued
The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the European Commissions proposal for a legislative initiative on the substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (also known as the Green Claims Directive). EBCA would like to make the following recommendations to the Commissions proposal for a Green Claims Directive: 1.
The European Branded Clothing Association (EBCA) recognises the important role that biotechnology and bio-based solutions can play in supporting industrial decarbonisation. However, EBCA is alarmed that the European Commission is considering including the textile apparel sector as a potential lead market to create demand for bio-based feedstock or captured emissions (CCU) for end products in the Biotech Act II.
The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the European Commissions proposal for a legislative initiative on the Textile Labelling Regulation (TLR) and is in favour of this revision, as it represents a significant step towards harmonisation. EBCA would like to present the following recommendations for the Commissions proposed revision of the TLR: 1.
EBCA welcomes the revision of Regulation on market surveillance and compliance of product both in light of changing market realities and because products, particularly textile and apparel, will face increased requirements to access the EU market. Modernising the market surveillance regulation will enable a coordinated response to ensure compliance and enforcement of product rules.
