Nachrichten - Öko-faire Kleidung 07 August 2013 Literature tip: The road to sustainable clothing - standards, seals and political framework conditions. This report, which was commissioned by the Bundestag parliamentary group Bündnis 90/Die Grünen by Katharina Schaus in the summer of 2013, focuses on standards, seals and political framework conditions of the globalised textile industry. The overview included in this report includes 52 textile labels that provide incentives for sustainable development and have a health or environmental and socially acceptable orientation. Based on the collected basic information on all labels, a selection was made for which an exemplary analysis (assessment) was prepared according to predetermined parameters such as transparency, positioning, classification and their underlying requirements (criteria), quality, resources, implementation, social compatibility, etc. In addition to a look at problem factors in the textile industry along the value chain, a look at the market situation of sustainable clothing is also the content of this report. At the end of the report, recommendations for action resulting from the findings and relevant topics for representatives of politics are summarized.
