INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is not a new concept, however, the awareness raising on sustainable business practices is still at an early stage, and policies toward the sustainable objective still lack coercion. In this section, we will review the main policies and texts of references at global and EU level and that enhance the sustainability of the business practice. In particular, we will explore the new EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles. Then, we will intend to provide a definition of a sustainable textile business practice.
