Join us for a practical briefing on the latest EU developments for the Textiles and Apparel Delegated Act within the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) which will contain the Digital Product Passport (DPP). This session will summarise insights from the European Commission and Joint Research Centre, helping businesses understand what’s emerging within the development of the legislation and what is not required at this stage.

• Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). Summary from the JRC consultation on the textiles Delegated Act and the current status.
• JRC third milestone report. Key areas under review, recycled content, recyclability, durability, repairability, substances of concern, and environmental footprint.
• What level of data disclosure is likely to be required based on recent DPP developments.
• What this means for businesses. Practical next steps, what to monitor, and how to prepare without over interpreting early drafts.

The webinar is only accessible to UKFT Members and will be recorded and sent to all those who registered.

COMPLIANCE 101

Welcome to UKFT’s Compliance 101 Series. We are excited to introduce this series, designed to support and guide businesses in the UK fashion and textile industry through the landscape of regulatory requirements. This series includes webinars, accompanied by detailed guides and resources, aimed at helping you understand and navigate the standards and regulations affecting our sector.

Each webinar session will outline the topic, provide practical insights and offer actionable steps to help you implement these practices within your business. The webinars will include an open Q&A session, allowing you to engage with UKFT and industry experts to get your specific questions answered. Alongside the webinars, we will provide guides and resources that provide detail about the regulations. These materials will cover regulatory standards, explain the regulations impacting the UK fashion and textile industry and offer guidance on the obligations for your business, including what you need to comply with and when. Additionally, we will provide practical advice to help you implement compliance measures effectively.

Our goal is to offer practical support that facilitates the implementation of compliance strategies. The accompanying guides and resources are designed to ensure UKFT members have the tools and information needed to meet regulatory requirements. Throughout the series, we will feature organisations that provide services to support or manage compliance with regulations. These organisations will be recommended for their expertise and may also participate as speakers, sharing their insights and offering advice.
