WASHINGTON, D.C - The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) and the International Apparel Federation (IAF), along with 128 additional organisations, have written an open letter to authorities around the world to urge them to modernise domestic textile and footwear labelling requirements and legally allow the use of more sustainable and economic digital labels.
The letter from 130 signatories from across the global fashion and sportswear industry states that, “Shifting to the use of digital labels would significantly reduce labelling waste and significantly aid in decarbonisation efforts, resulting in the elimination of at least 343,000 MT of CO2e from industry supply chains.”
