An All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) has been formed by British parliament members from all sides of the political spectrum to inquire into the sustainability of the apparel and textiles industry, including supply chains, materials used and consumer behaviour. This follows the government's response to a recent report by the Environmental Audit Committee.
The committee’s report was titled 'Fixing fashion: clothing consumption and sustainability'.
The APPG, supported and promoted by Hubbub, the sustainability charity, held its inaugural meeting this week with dozens of major retailers, industry bodies and recycling experts in attendance.
MP Anne Main, the newly elected APPG chairperson, urged all stakeholders of the industry—from farmers to retailers to industry bodies—to engage with the APPG as we look to bring sustainability to this important issue, according to an APPG press release.
Over the coming months, APPG will be seeking evidence from a wide base and recommend the government for action in the sector. (DS)
