This investigation had press coverage from over 500 media outlets globally. This has since led to a review of Extended Producer Regulations for textiles in the EU and quite recently a proposal was made by Sweden, Denmark, and France and supported by Austria and Finland to subject textile waste to the rules of the Basel Convention.
