The textile and clothing sector is also a key resource for stimulating jobs and business opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this sector has a strong impact on land use, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. At every stage, from production to distribution, use, and post-use, the environmental impact is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Textiles in the European Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-9.png\" alt=\"waste from the textile industry\" class=\"wp-image-48697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-9.png 640w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-9-536x358.png 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-9-344x230.png 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Rio Lecatompessy on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Textil is an important sector of the European economy. In 2019, Europeans spent an average of 600 euros on clothing. Use and maintenance require the use of energy and water, but also detergents, chemicals, and microfibers are released into wastewater. Once washed, therefore, tissues are <strong>responsible for about 35% of <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/microplastics-causes-effects-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">microplastics<\/a> in the oceans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the textile products that are then discarded, <strong>87% are incinerated<\/strong> or end up in landfills, while only 10% remain on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How the Problem Is Addressed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to this problem, the European Parliament has approved the Waste Framework Directive, which requires Member States to implement separate collection of textile waste in their cities by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"640\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-10.png\" alt=\"europe and the problem of waste \" class=\"wp-image-48698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-10.png 640w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-10-536x338.png 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-10-344x217.png 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Cristian Lue on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/environment.ec.europa.eu\/strategy\/textiles-strategy_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Commission\u2019s new strategy<\/a> also includes measures to support circular materials and production processes, to address the presence of hazardous chemicals, and to help consumers choose sustainable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Role of the European Week for Waste Reduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-11.png\" alt=\"recycle to reduce waste\" class=\"wp-image-48699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-11.png 640w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-11-536x358.png 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/image-11-344x230.png 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Nareeta Martin on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2022 edition, which will take place <strong>from 19th to 27th November<\/strong>, will therefore focus on textiles to highlight their impact on the planet but, above all, to <strong>inspire actions<\/strong> that will bring<strong> greater circularity<\/strong> in the textile sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fashion is a means of expressing people\u2019s personalities and styles.
