Fast Fashion Is Too Wasteful For British Legislators To Levy Taxes On Fast Fashion Retailers.
British cross party congressmen put forward a containment approach to retailers, aiming at the waste problem caused by fast fashion mode.
The Environmental Audit Committee Environmental Auditing Board (EAC) of the British Parliament, after eight months of investigation and research, reported on Tuesday that Britain buys more clothing per capita than any other European country, but millions of tons of discarded clothes worth 140 million pounds a year are sent to the reclamation area and incinerators. Meanwhile, the air and sea links in the British clothing market have caused a lot of carbon emissions.
In order to raise consumers' environmental awareness and increase the environmental responsibilities of clothing manufacturers and retailers, EAC recommends that 1 pence be charged to retailers for each item sold, and an additional 35 million pounds is expected to be used to improve clothing recycling and recycling.
The size of the British fashion apparel industry reached 32 billion pounds in 2017, and its production, design, brand and retail links provided 89 million jobs.
In this huge industry, EAC criticized Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon's British business, Boohoo Group PLC (BOO.L), Missguided and other online retailers as well as JD, Sports, Missguided, BOO.L and Missguided.
In this regard, Boohoo Group PLC said it would continue to maintain an open dialogue with Congress, retailers and group shareholders on sustainability issues, and since November 2018, they have introduced sustainable clothing series to their brands.
JD Sports Fashion PLC, a sporting goods retailer, has shifted its responsibility to third party brands.
"About 90% of the group's sales are free of products supplied by third party brands, of which two brands Nike Nike and Adidas Adidas are recognized globally as leaders in sustainable product design and development."
As for its own brand, the group said it will continue to explore the topic of improving the sustainability of its own products.
EAC chairman Mary Creagh said in the report: "fast fashion means we consume too much, but we do not make full use of the clothes we buy.
Fashion retailers must be responsible for the clothes they produce. "
EAC, a retailer who provides sustainable design, less environmental impact on the production process and promotion of clothing repair and recycling, should consider giving preferential treatment in terms of taxation.
The group praised the sustainable planning of BurberryGroup PLC (BRBY.L) Bobury, ASOS PLC (ASC.L), Primark, Marks and Spencer Group and (Marx), Marsha general store, and the supermarket of Tesco (Tesco).
Mary Creagh points out that since the British authorities have asked car manufacturers to recycle batteries and levy taxes on native plastics since 2022, these tools can be copied into the textile industry.
Other measures recommended by the report include precipitation for suppliers of garment repair services, prohibition of retailers from destroying or discarding recyclable or recyclable stocks, and requiring retailers to draw up blueprints for "zero carbon emissions".
