French senate reviews bill targeting China fast fashion
The French Senate began reviewing legislation to curb environmental and industry impact of mass-produced, low-cost clothing from countries like China. Passed by the National Assembly in March, the bill has entered the final legislative stage, with a vote expected on June 10. The legislation targets ultra-fast fashion platforms like Shein and Temu. Key measures include defining fast fashion standards, strengthening environmental disclosure requirements, and introducing “reward-penalty” mechanisms to raise overproduction costs.
