DADDY X Deutsche Umwelthilfe – Reclaiming Responsibility for Textile Waste
Europe’s so-called textile circularity is a myth. It is exporting its waste problem. Today, up to 90% of used textiles collected in Germany are exported to countries in the Global South. In places like Ghana, huge amounts of low quality fast fashion end up on dumpsites or directly in the environment – with devastating consequences for people, local communities and ecosystems.
The Deutsche Umwelthilfe is calling for a strong Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system that makes fashion companies responsible for the global impacts of their products. Fashion brands must help finance waste infrastructure where textile waste actually ends up and affected communities must have a voice in EPR governance and decision-making. It is time to reclaim responsibility. Sign the petition.
