PEF rules for textiles and apparel approved

European Commission green lights much anticipated Product Environmental Footprint category rules for textiles and apparel.

Long Story, Cut Short

• PEF leverages the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, a scientifically validated methodology for measuring environmental impacts at each stage of a product’s life.

• PEFCR will allow brands of all sizes to calculate simple cradle-to-grave lifecycle scores for products and identify hotspots for impact reduction.

• Using a standardised science-based approach provides clarity. While companies can measure, understand, and improve the environmental impacts of their products, when displayed, consumers can make more informed choices.

In 2023, the TEC published six country cases studies and a summary for policymakers outlining good practices and lessons learned from establishing and implementing NSI.
