France debates a green tax on ultra-fast fashion retailers such as Temu, Shein and Primark. In the second half of March, the National Assembly will discuss a draft law proposing a fee of ten euros per item of clothing sold. The bill aims to „reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry“ of ultra-fast fashion brands by reducing the price difference to more sustainable sectors. Christophe Béchu, French Minister for Ecological Transition, met with fashion industry representatives, associations and textile manufacturers on Monday to discuss the bill. Temu is very popular in France. Fashion retailer Shein has also had success with pop-up stores in Paris. ari
