The Apparel Compliance Radar (Q2 2026): From DPP to PFAS
Details
The apparel compliance landscape is shifting faster than ever. PFAS restrictions, Digital Product Passports, US state-level reporting, ESPR's destruction ban, the Green Claims Directive… and that's before you've even looked at supply chain due diligence.
Keeping track of what's in force, what's coming, and what actually applies to your products has become a full-time job.
Join our free expert-led session for a focused tour of the apparel compliance radar in Q2 2026. We'll brief you on what's hot right now and what's heading your way, then hand the mic over for live Q&A.
💡 What we'll cover in the briefing:
Chemical: PFAS restrictions and bans across European countries, US states, and REACH
Environmental: ESPR ban on destruction, DPP legislation status, PPWR, Green Claims Directive, EPR
Safety: flammability and product safety updates
Packaging: evolving textile marking legislation, recyclability requirements
Plus: eFiling, the latest on GPSR, supply chain regulations, and a quick look at the rest of the world (Australia, Middle East, and beyond)
🎤 Then it's over to you, ask anything:
"When do we actually need a DPP for our garments?"
"Which US states have PFAS reporting deadlines this year?"
"How do we evidence Green Claims compliance?"
"What's enough for UFLPA due diligence?"
⏰ Spots are limited to keep the session interactive, so every question gets the attention it deserves.
