Typical Eurocrat meddling in people's affairs. The owners of those items should be free to do whatever they want. If the government is concerend about environmental damage, they should raise landfill fees or tax carbon, not limit what firms are allowed to do with their own things.

Well put. Of course noone says that this will increase clothes price for everyone.

Raising the landfill tax or carbon tax will also increase the price of clothes.

This might only increase the price of already expensive items, a t-shirt from H&M won't go up in price because of this.
