France's Lower House Approves Bill to Penalize Fast Fashion

France's lower house of Parliament unanimously approved a pioneering bill targeting fast fashion, seeking to curb its environmental impact by banning advertising for inexpensive textiles, imposing an environmental levy, and requiring companies to disclose their products' environmental impact. The bill aims to promote transparency, accountability, and sustainability in the fashion industry, safeguarding France's high fashion sector while leveling the playing field against fast fashion retailers. The move sets a precedent in the global fight against environmental degradation caused by the fashion industry and may pave the way for EU-wide action.
