Purpose

Society and consumers place great demands on companies and their products. The legislation also means that you as an actor must have complete information and control over which chemicals your products contain. It is especially important with products for children and goods that come into contact with the skin, such as clothes and accessories.

We help you interpret chemical legal requirements and restrictions that apply to goods made of textile materials and plastics and that are linked to, for example, REACH and POPs. We suggest which analyzes you need to make based on legal requirements, but also other requirements specifications such as eco-labels or procurement requirements.

The textile industry is facing its largest transformation ever. From 2026, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will introduce new sustainability requirements for all textile products on the European market. At the same time, investors and consumers are demanding documented climate and environmental performance. Companies that fail to adapt risk losing market access as the new EU requirements take effect. With requirements for digital product passports, extended producer responsibility and stricter chemical regulations, the textile industry is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades.
