Fast fashion : comprendre la stratégie de l’UE pour mettre fin à la mode jetable.

20 April 2026 Climat European Union

Un Européen consomme en moyenne chaque année plus de 25 kg de textiles, dont quasiment la moitié est jetée. Les déchets textiles sont très peu recyclés et la grande majorité est incinérée. En plus de l’impact qu’a la production de vêtements sur la consommation d’eau, leur recyclage est peu courant. Ce phénomène peut être qualifié de production de déchets textiles, notamment en raison de l’accélération des cycles de fabrication de géants de l’industrie vestimentaire.

As the peace talks for Ukraine restart and seem to gain new momentum over the last months of 2025, the EU tries to assert its presence as a central and fundamental actor for the peace process. Brussels insists that its absence would hinder every possibility of a just and lasting peace, undermining not only Ukraine’s future, but also the EU’s security. The EU is willing to pass from a role of financial supporter (and possible post-conflict stabilizer) to an actual co-architect of peace.
