A shift to climate-resilient operations can create new commercial opportunities while also raising awareness of social justice and human rights issues in areas such as raw material extraction and new technology. Regulatory intervention can aid in the management of economic disruptions caused by climate change impacts or disasters. At the same time, pressure from abrupt policy and regulatory changes can cause financial and market instability, affecting firm operations, reputations, and profitability.

According to the annual market report, after a slight decline in 2020 due to the pandemic, global fiber production will reach an all-time high of 113 million metric tons in 2021. It will reach 149 million tonnes by 2030.

This undermines industry climate goals. The report said that without drastic changes to reduce volumes, substitute conventional fibers for lower-impact, or "preferred," alternatives and foster innovation within eight years, the apparel, textiles, footwear, and homeware industries will fail to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the raw materials stage to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C.

Changes in legislation, such as EU eco-design and due diligence laws, pre-competitive industry collaboration, and incentives for farmers to adopt better practices, can speed up the adoption of new materials. In the future, the industry must decouple value from growth by decreasing the production of new fibers and rapidly expanding textile recycling technologies and infrastructure in order to recover value from existing materials.

The EU Commission has proposed new packaging rules in order to reduce waste and consumer annoyance.

Every year, Europeans generate 180 kg of packaging waste. In the EU, packaging consumes 40% of plastic and 50% of paper. Without intervention, EU packaging waste will increase by 19%, with plastic packaging waste increasing by 46% by 2030.

New regulations attempt to halt this trend. They will provide reusable packaging, minimize unnecessary packaging, limit overpackaging, and appropriately label recycling for consumers. This aims to improve Europe's recycling capability, create new business opportunities for small businesses, reduce the need for virgin materials, and reduce Europe's reliance on primary resources and external suppliers. The regulators expect to make packaging environmentally friendly by 2050.

At COP27, the decision was made to establish new financing mechanisms and a dedicated fund to assist developing countries hit hard by climate disasters. Additionally, governments also agreed to establish a "transitional committee" to provide suggestions at COP28 next year on how to operationalize both the new financial arrangements and the fund. It is anticipated that the first meeting of the transitional committee will occur before the end of March 2023.

On November 14, major corporations including H&M, Inditex, Stella McCartney, Ben & Jerry's, HH Global, and Kering pledged to buy over 500,000 tons of carbon-neutral and footprint-light alternatives to conventional textiles and paper during COP27.

It's a step in the right direction toward reducing forest degradation demands from the fashion and packaging supply chains and protecting the world's essential forests and ecosystems.
