• From 19 July 2026, large companies will be banned from destroying unsold apparel, footwear and accessories. Medium-sized businesses will follow by 2030.![]()
• Companies must disclose how much unsold stock they discard, using a standardized reporting format from Feb 2027.![]()
• Only in specific, justified cases (e.g., safety or irreparable damage) will destruction still be allowed under supervision.![]()

Instead of sending unused clothes to waste, brands are encouraged to explore reuse, resale, remanufacturing and donations — boosting circular business models and reducing environmental harm.![]()
