國際時事跟讀VIP Ep.K671: Fast Fashion Brands Prepare for EU's Push to Tackle Clothing Waste
Highlights 摘要：
- European fashion industry is facing a mounting challenge of clothing waste. Despite efforts, only a fraction of clothing is recycled, necessitating urgent change.
- Fast fashion brands like Inditex are responding to EU initiatives by investing in recycling and sustainability goals, though overconsumption remains a significant issue.
- To achieve the EU's ambitious recycling targets, substantial investment and innovation are needed in textile waste processing, along with changes in consumer behavior.
On the outskirts of Barcelona, a warehouse hums with activity as women diligently sort through piles of used clothing, including T-shirts, jeans, and dresses. This modest operation represents just the beginning of a broader effort to address Europe's mounting problem of discarded fashion. In response to new European Union (EU) initiatives aimed at curbing the fashion industry's environmental impact, organizations like Moda Re, a garment reuse and recycling charity, are ramping up their efforts to recycle and repurpose clothing. Within a year, Moda Re plans to double its annual handling capacity to 40,000 metric tonnes, with support from companies like Inditex, the owner of Zara.
在巴塞羅那市郊，一座倉庫充滿了活力，女性們正在勤奮地分類使用過的衣物，包括T恤、牛仔褲和洋裝。這個謙卑的運作僅代表了一個更廣泛的努力的開始，以應對歐洲積壓的廢棄時尚問題。為應對針對時尚業環境影響的新歐洲聯盟（EU）倡議，像Moda Re這樣的服裝重複使用和再利用慈善機構正在加大努力，以回收和重新利用服裝。在一年內，Moda Re計劃將其年處理能力翻倍，達到4萬公噸，得到了像Zara的所有者Inditex等公司的支持。
In Spain, fashion giants such as H&M, Mango, and Inditex have come together to form a non-profit association to manage clothing waste. This collaborative effort aligns with an EU law requiring member states to separate textiles from other waste beginning in January 2025. Despite these initiatives, the European Commission reported that less than a quarter of the 5.2 million tonnes of clothing waste generated in Europe is recycled each year, with the remainder ending up in landfills. This unsustainable practice underscores the urgent need for change in the textile industry.
在西班牙，像H&M、Mango和Inditex這樣的時尚巨頭已經聯合組成一個非營利協會來管理服裝廢棄物。這種協作努力符合一項EU法律，該法律要求自2025年1月開始，成員國必須將紡織品與其他廢棄物分開處理。儘管有這些倡議，歐洲委員會報告稱，歐洲每年產生的520萬公噸衣物廢棄物中，不到四分之一被回收利用，其餘的最終進入垃圾填埋場。這種不可持續的做法凸顯了紡織業迫切需要改變的需求。
Fast fashion, characterized by the production and sale of low-cost clothing with short lifespans, has been identified as a major contributor to climate change and environmental damage by the EU. Inditex, for instance, has pledged to incorporate 40% recycled fibers into its gar
