Textile Manufacturers to Pay for Disposal

Germany has a new law. It makes clothing companies responsible for old clothes. The goal is to reduce waste and help the environment.

The law, proposed by Environment Minister Schneider, focuses on reducing textile waste. It requires clothing manufacturers to manage the collection and recycling of old clothes. This is a response to concerns about 'fast fashion'. Environmental groups say the law needs to be stronger. The aim is to create a more sustainable clothing industry.
