LONDON, Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The fashion and apparel industry is under pressure. More than 85% of leading brands (by sales) have publicly declared decarbonization targets for their supply chains. In addition, more than 35 new pieces of sustainability-linked legislation are forecasted to go into effect around the world in the next two to four years, targeting import restrictions, product design guidelines, labeling requirements, and more.

  • However, demand for low-climate-impact ("preferred") raw materials could exceed supply by as much as 133 million tons by 2030.
  • Titled Sustainable Raw Materials Will Drive Profitability for Fashion and Apparel Brands , the report says that brands must act today to significantly increase the share of preferred raw materials in their portfolio.
