¿Qué es el Pacto Verde Europeo?

A Broad Sustainability Strategy

The EU Green Deal is the European Union’s plan to be climate-neutral by 2050, with a focus on achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a wide-reaching initiative that shapes new policies and regulations for sustainability. The goal is to change how we think about growth and move to a circular economy. This means cutting down on waste and reducing the strain on natural resources.

Adaptado para 55

Un objetivo clave en la estrategia a largo plazo del Pacto Verde de la UE es reducir las emisiones en un 55% para 2030, en comparación con los niveles de 1990.

Impacto global

Companies around the world must comply to keep selling in the EU and supplying EU-based businesses.

Requisitos de sostenibilidad más estrictos bajo el Pacto Verde Europeo

Companies must reduce waste and pollution.
Sustainable Design

El reglamento de diseño ecológico exige a las empresas fabricar productos más sostenibles, duraderos y reciclables. También impone una nueva restricción al tratamiento de los productos no vendidos.

Los requisitos incluyen adoptar técnicas innovadoras de reciclaje, reutilizar materiales y diseñar productos que minimicen el impacto ambiental a lo largo de su ciclo de vida. Las marcas y los proveedores también deberán invertir en nuevas tecnologías ecológicas (por ejemplo, teñido sin agua).

Producción responsable

Carbon emissions have a price. The CBAM aims to prevent evasion of EU environmental regulations (e.g. through offshoring). It will tax high-carbon imports, making unsustainable production more costly.

Los proveedores dentro y fuera de la UE deben cumplir las normas medioambientales de la UE, como limitar el uso de agua y reducir las emisiones.

  • A partir de 2023, los importadores deberán informar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero incorporadas en sus productos
  • Para 2026, los importadores deberán comprar certificados CBAM para compensar esas emisiones de carbono

Los fabricantes pueden reducir la huella de carbono de su cadena de suministro adoptando energías renovables y tecnologías más limpias.

Debida diligencia

Directiva de diligencia debida en sostenibilidad corporativa

(CSDDD)

The EU Green Deal places a strong emphasis on social justice. For businesses, this means protecting workers throughout supply chains. On a broader level, it's about improving living conditions and access to healthy environments - both in and outside the workplace.

This CSDDD makes one thing clear: No turning a blind eye. Brands and retailers must also answer for their partners—for the way workers are treated and how business practices affect the environment.

To protect workers, suppliers must follow ethical labor practices including fair wages, safe working conditions and no forced or child labor.

To protect communities, companies must assess their environmental impact and take action to mitigate environmental harm. This means reducing carbon emissions, cutting waste, avoiding harmful chemicals in products and improving resource efficiency throughout their operations and supply chains. 

Companies should prepare to comply with CSDDD rules by 2028.

Circularidad

A key part of the EU Green Deal is switching to a circular economy and phasing out single-use products. Products must be reusable, repairable and recyclable, with minimal impacts on the environment — throughout their life cycles. 

Gestión de residuos:

Legal developments like the 2021 Waste Framework Directive (WFD) have prioritized waste prevention, making it essential to consider circularity at the design stage.

Extended Producer Responsibility laws (EPRs) make brands financially responsible for the collection, sorting and recycling of garments. The laws vary by country and fall under the Waste Directive Framework and EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles. Compliance requires companies to improve their waste management systems so more materials are repurposed rather than discarded.

To push for more circular product design, a proposed amendment to the WFD could force producers to pay for textile waste management. Approval of this proposal is expected by 2026.

Transparencia

Etiquetado de productos y pasaportes digitales de productos

(DPP)

El Pacto Verde Europeo promueve el consumo sostenible educando a los consumidores y haciendo hincapié en la colaboración entre empresas y particulares. Sin embargo, la transparencia es clave para que esta colaboración funcione.

Para generar confianza, contrarrestar el greenwashing y empoderar la toma de decisiones informadas, las empresas deben divulgar:

  • De dónde vienen los materiales
  • Cómo se fabrican los productos
  • Lo que sucede con los productos después de su uso

Las etiquetas de productos, como los Pasaportes de productos digital (DPP), mejorarán aún más la transparencia al proporcionar información clara sobre los materiales, el origen, las opciones de reparación y la reciclabilidad.

Sustancias químicas

Zero Pollution Action Plan

Ambition to Achieve Zero Pollution in Air, Water and Soil

The EU Chemicals Strategy prioritizes responsible chemical management with a plan to reduce toxic impacts on people and the environment while driving innovation in safer, more sustainable chemistries.

By 2030, chemical production restrictions are expected to double, including expanded bans and limitations on hazardous substances used in dyeing, processing and finished products.

Your EU Green Deal Compliance Guide

Aligning with the EU Green Deal can be challenging. With the right partner, you can stay ahead of evolving standards—while protecting your customers, brand and future.

We simplify compliance with tailored support, from chemical testing to claim verification—helping you manage regulatory changes with confidence.

Manage risk, control costs and strengthen compliance with smart testing strategies built around your products and supply chain.

Sustainability Requires Better Products

Products designed for superior quality and durability - in textiles: comfort, fit, performance and chemical safety - not only deliver lasting value to consumers but also reduce waste. High quality products are less likely to be discarded, leading to lower resource consumption and environmental impact.
