Inclusion of recycled fibres is perhaps most relevant for rapidly discarded fast fashion and least relevant for textiles whose active lifetime is determined by technical durability e.g. bed-linen, towels, basic underwear etc. Otherwise there is a risk that companies could produce pre-consumer waste on purpose just to be able to declare use of this in recycled content. A solution might be to include a separate ecodesign criterion for maximum waste level in production processes of textile products. There would also be a need for control of hazardous content in recycled content.
