The EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles calls for policy interventions to reduce waste and overconsumption in this sector. However, future policies may have unintended impacts.
This study examines the unintended effects of past and future textile policies, with the goal of evaluating scientific tools for improving ex ante impact assessments and so mitigating unintended effects in future.
It finds that the unintended impact of a policy can be just as important as the impact that it was designed to achieve. Stakeholder engagement, combined micro- and macro-economic modelling, extended consideration of the EU's resilience and the inclusion of a behavioural and social component are all key to reducing unintended impacts.

The webinar will explore how advanced materials and circular design approaches are shaping the future of high-performance composite applications, with a focus on wind energy.
The textiles sector needs to become more circular, and traceability of components across the supply chain, transparency of information, and reliable data for circular business models are the cornerstones of this process.
The Delegated Act for Textiles under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is being prepared and will shape the Digital Product Passport in the textiles sector. The DPP must allow for the needs and capacities of actors throughout the supply chain in order to unlock circular business models and achieve the EU's environmental and social goals in the textile industry.
This policy brief gives an overview of the most pressing practical challenges facing these actors and provides actionable policy recommendations.
