The consumer-facing Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) system is designed to measure and label the environmental impact of all apparel and footwear products sold within the European Union (EU).
However, Make The Label Count argues that the proposed methodology currently excludes critical environmental impacts and does not reflect the EU’s own sustainability and circularity goals.
