- Member States were loud and clear: the environmental and economic impacts of ultra- #fastfashion can’t be ignored any longer. Countries support modulated fees that penalise the commercial practices driving overproduction in the #fashion sector, making polluters pay for the waste they generate.

- 🚨EU's new law on vehicles misses the turn off to a greener future EU lawmakers struck a deal to overhaul car design and end-of-life rules, but concessions to the automotive industry weakened targets and delayed vital safeguards🚔 Our reaction with @umwelthilfe.bsky.social 👉 eeb.org/en/eus-new-v...
- 📈Soaring volumes of clothing sales mean more items being discarded, and faster - driving #textiles collectors and sorters to breaking point. ⚠️@ec.europa.eu must not curtail national action against #fashion overproduction. 🗞️Read our press release with @amisdelaterre.org: eeb.org/en/eu-commis...
- 📣60+ European and French NGOs call on @ec.europa.eu to support a draft French law that seeks to rein in the most harmful commercial practices in the fashion sector - and not to hamper it. ✉️Read our letter: eeb.org/en/library/n... @amisdelaterre.org
- Eroding vital protections will sideline people and nature, and leave Europe less competitive, less resilient and less sovereign. What does this mean for Europe's citizens and businesses? Read our press release: eeb.org/en/environme... @ec.europa.eu

- ⚠️ Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are being sold as the next big climate fix - but the reality is far less shiny. They are unsafe, overpriced, unproven, and pushed through with regulatory shortcuts and closed-door decision-making. Meanwhile, renewables are cheaper, cleaner, safer, and ready NOW.
- Staying stylish AND kind to the planet these holidays? It is possible!✨⛄💚 This Thursday, our textile expert Emily Macintosh will speak at @wecf.org's webinar on #fastfashion and the holiday season. Join us online on 4 December at 13:00. Register here: www.wecf.org/event/webina...

- Last week we went on a field trip with @recyclingeurope.bsky.social to see electronics and vehicles #recycling in action! A #CircularEconomy starts with #waste prevention - but once products inevitably turn into waste, recycling allows us to recover precious resources and give them a new life... 🧵👇

- Europe’s #cars can’t be green if the steel they’re made from isn’t Almost a fifth of all #steel in the EU is used to make cars. Most of this is produced using polluting coal-power Cleaning up the steel behind Europe’s cars means clearing the air we breathe – while giving existing steel a new life
