"Ecobezumie" — the EU is preparing another ban, this time — cotton

The European Union intends to introduce another ban in the name of "eco-madness," writes the Polish portal "The Highest Hour." This time in relation to the garment industry. As a result, consumers will see a jump in prices.

The portal writes:

"For decades, cotton has been one of the main raw materials used in the garment industry. This material is so versatile that it can be used in almost every wardrobe. But it may end soon. And all thanks to the Brussels Eurocrats. The EU plans to ban its production and sale from 2030."

The reason for the cotton ban, according to Brussels, is that cotton fibers are so fragile that they are unsuitable for recycling, and such waste is not part of the "green revolution" in Europe. Large clothing companies have already begun to prepare for the new requirements of Brussels. Work is underway to find alternative materials to cotton.

"However, small brands face a huge challenge. It may turn out that you will have to invest in new technologies or change the supply chain — and this will affect the cost of production," the publication concludes.
