Abstract english
In connection with the planned implementation of the EU Textile Strategy, the aim of the project was to identify relevant terms relating to aspects of the material efficiency of clothing textiles and, if necessary, to specify them. These terms are to be used as a basis for the derivation of possible Ecodesign requirements.

Die Umsetzung der EU-Textilstrategie
(Umweltbundesamt, 2025)
Im Zusammenhang mit der geplanten Umsetzung der EU Textilstrategie war es Ziel des durchgeführten Sachverständigengutachtens, relevante Begriffe zu Aspekten der Materialeffizienz von Bekleidungstextilien zu identifizieren und ggf. zu konkretisieren. Diese Begriffe sollen als Grundlage für die Ableitung möglicher Ökodesign-Anforderungen herangezogen werden können.

Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation: requirements for the ecodesign of textiles and the possible transfer to an ecodesign label
(German Environment Agency, 2026)
Textiles are a priority product group under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) due to their significant environmental impact. The aim of the study was to develop suggestions regarding ecodesign requirements and to explore how these can be communicated through an ecodesign label. The study’s methodology included literature review, expert consultation, market analysis, and stakeholder workshops. The developed requirements relate to durability, repairability, recyclability, recycled content, and substances of concern. Three product examples were in the focus of the study: T-shirts, jeans and functional jackets.
