The Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, announced the roadmap presenting 50 measures for a 100% circular economy. Among these measures, the 15th consists of a ban on the disposal of unsold textile products. This is the application to the textile industries of the law proposed by MP Guillaume Garot and adopted on February 3, 2016. This law already prohibits the food industry from disposing of unsold products that are fit for consumption.

Asked about this ban on throwing away unsold textile products, Valérie Fayard, Emmaus' Deputy Executive Director, welcomes the decision:
"For the moment, nothing is really specified, it's a roadmap for presentation, but it's good news. The 2019 deadline will enable the government to take stock of the situation, calculate the number of tonnages thrown away, the procedures implemented by the brands, the difficulties...".

A Danish investigative broadcast indicated that H&M has reportedly burned nearly 12 tonnes of clothing since 2013.

The Prime Minister has promised to adopt a law by 2019 to transpose the new European directive on waste. Pending the enactment of a law, regulatory measures and community initiatives will be put in place.
Voluntary commitments by companies" are also being sought by the executive.
