France's National Assembly approves bill imposing penalties on ultra-fast fashion products, aiming to reduce environmental impact.
France's National Assembly has approved a bill imposing penalties on ultra-fast fashion products, such as those from companies like China's Shein. The bill aims to offset the environmental impact of fast fashion by gradually increasing penalties of up to €10 ($10.90) per individual item of clothing by 2030 and banning advertising for such products. The legislation will be reviewed by the Senate before it becomes law. This follows the French environmental ministry's proposal for a European Union ban on exports of used clothes to address the growing issue of textile waste.
