[fs-toc-h2]The Shifting Global Regulatory Landscape
The regulatory landscape for apparel, footwear, and textile companies is undergoing a dramatic global shift, with new sustainability regulations emerging in both the EU and the US. As of July 2024, the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) came into force, marking a new era of compliance requirements for the fashion industry. With the Digital Product Passport (DPP) expected to be adopted this year and enforcement beginning in 2026, and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) obligations applying from December 2024, European compliance demands are intensifying rapidly.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the proposed New York Fashion Act looms on the horizon, promising to bring stringent sustainability and labor standards to one of the world's fashion capitals. This groundbreaking legislation could set a new benchmark for transparency and environmental responsibility in the US market.
