Major fashion names, including ASOS, Next, Primark, Marks & Spencer and Boohoo, have signed up to the Textiles 2030 action plan, which has been described as \"the most ambitious ten-year programme for clothing and textiles in the world\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WRAP, the UK's leading sustainability charity, is behind the initiative which seeks to slash the impact of fashion and home textiles<\/strong> \"through practical interventions\" throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n

Some 17 major brands and retailers, 26 reuse and recycle organisations and 20 affiliates are taking part, meaning that the agreement is supported by more than half of the UK market at its launch today. Nearly 60% of the clothing placed on the UK market (by sales volume) comes from the retailers signed up<\/strong> to Textiles 2030.<\/p>\n

Other major names to take part include John Lewis, Superdry, Sainsbury's, Ted Baker, JD Sports, Gymshark, Frasers Group, Pep & Co, Asda, Dunelm and Tesco.<\/p>\n

WRAP CEO Marcus Gover said: \u201cI\u2019ve been impressed by the way business has committed to reducing the environmental impact of its products<\/strong> and striving for net zero. They clearly see this as core to their business models and essential for building back better as they recover from the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\"We have been working with business to develop Textiles 2030 to drive forward the sector-wide change needed to redress how we use textiles. Our research<\/u><\/a> shows that public demand is there for clothes made more sustainably,<\/strong> and not disposable fashion so the time is right for this transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTextiles 2030 will create a fashion sector fit for the future and lower the environmental impacts of other household textiles. This is just the beginning of a decade long programme and we need more companies to show their commitment to their customers through Textiles 2030. With clothing having the fourth largest impact on the environment after transport, housing and food<\/strong> we simply cannot afford for sustainability not to be the next big thing in fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roadmap:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Textiles 2030 Roadmap, which is unveiled today, shows what signatories must do to deliver the targets, with key outcomes by the end of 2022, 2025 and 2030. These actions set out to transform the UK\u2019s make-use-dispose fashion culture into one where products are made sustainably,<\/strong> used longer and then re-used or recycled. The Target-Measure-Act approach will be used so that textiles businesses set tough targets, measure impact and track progress on both an individual business basis, and towards national targets and public reporting.<\/p>\n
