After being investigated for greenwashing, three of the UK's biggest fashion brands have signed a pledge to use only "accurate and clear" sustainability claims. Budget brands Asos, Boohoo and George at Asda all have footholds of varying sizes across Europe.

MEPs have backed stringent new rules designed to reduce the mountains of discarded clothing and other textiles generated in the EU every year and want to force producers to tackle the growing problem at their own expense, in reforms to the EU’s central legislation on waste.
