Reading this headline, you might immediately think $$$ — but that's not always the case. Refocusing on initiatives like sustainability offers a valuable opportunity to review and improve your overall supply chain practices. For instance, Carhartt can actually achieve cost savings while enhancing sustainability by sourcing cotton from the right regions, securing contracts, and collaborating on pricing strategies to reduce expenses. Most companies, particularly in the consumer products sector, will face increasing social and legal pressure related to sustainability and ESG. This makes cost management even more critical than it is today. Therefore, it’s essential to multitask effectively, balancing cost reductions with improvements in other areas of your business.

What a week for EPR for textiles around the world! ➡ On Monday, EU governments adopted their position on the roll-out of mandatory and harmonised Extended Producer Responsibility schemes for textiles. ➡ On Tuesday, Australian Minister for the Environment Tanya Plibersek announced the start of operations for Seamless. Seamless, Australia’s clothing product stewardship scheme (an approach closely related to EPR), becomes operational on 1 July 2024, with the mission to build a circular economy for clothing in Australia by 2030. ➡ Today, the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNECLAC) published their long-awaited report "Reversing direction in the used clothing crisis". Among other things, the report examines the global trade in second-hand clothing, and the impacts of this trade on Chile. Policy recommendations include the need to amend trade policies, to achieve common definitions of waste, and to establish EPR policy. Links in the comments.
