France Introduces Environmental Levy on Ultra-Fast Fashion Retailers
France has implemented a new environmental penalty on ultra-fast fashion items, effective this week. The levy, which aims to address the environmental impact of disposable fashion, will increase to nearly €20 per item by 2030. The measure specifically targets large Asian e-commerce platforms such as Shein, Temu, and AliExpress, following a French law passed in June to regulate the sector's environmental toll.
