Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important directive. Fibershed works with a global network of over 60 Affiliate communities (fiber and textile producers, processors, manufacturers, designers and wearers) dedicated to building regionally-based natural fiber textile systems that improve ecosystem and community health, cultivating new models for textile economies and culture.

not in the EU Transparency RegisterThis organization files on consultations without a register number, so its record here is built from its filings alone. Register facts — staff, costs, accreditations — are not available for it.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 639 consultation files tracked so far (53,766 submissions, mostly 2021–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

What they argued
These comments are submitted on behalf of Fibershed, a U.S.-based NGO focused on establishing healthy fiber and textile systems, representing 34 Fibershed Affiliate organizations across 4 continents, including North America, Europe, Australia and India. The intention of this proposal for accountability in transparent and trusted labeling claims is laudable.
Source reduction for microplastic fiber derived from synthetic textiles will only be achieved through targeted policies to help address the growing abundance and overconsumption of synthetic textiles. As the Commission acknowledges “voluntary approaches have achieved little to no reduction so far” on microplastic fiber emissions.
