Every Thursday: what changed, who moved, and what to do about it.

Each issue

Recent issues

From the first issues

No. 1. The EU PFHxA restriction now applies. Why a single PFAS report no longer covers your water-repellent zips, and how to test per homogeneous material.

No. 2. EUDR from 30 December: which trims are in scope after the September product-list update, and what US tariff gaps mean for where your trims are needed.

No. 3. The Digital Product Passport is not law yet for textiles, but the data requests have started. A one-page data sheet that puts you ahead.
