Preventing waste starts long before products reach households. The upcoming ban on destroying unsold textiles is an important step towards reducing overproduction in the fashion system. Circularity requires both policy action and everyday change.

Waste prevention requires both systemic change and everyday action. Strengthening policy support for reuse and repair can help create the conditions that make circular practices easier for households and communities alike.
