Impactful Policy Frameworks
German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) (2023)
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz - LkSG), effective from January 1, 2023, requires companies based in Germany with 3,000 or more employees (and 1,000+ from 2024) to conduct due diligence regarding human rights and environmental risks in their supply chains.
While DEETORY may not directly meet the employee threshold, its suppliers, especially larger ones, will be subject to this, leading to increased pressure for supply chain transparency and compliance, which benefits DEETORY's ethos.
EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles (2022)
The European Commission's 2022 strategy aims to make textiles more durable, repairable, reusable, and recyclable, tackling fast fashion, greenwashing, and encouraging circular business models.
This strategy will push for more eco-design requirements, mandatory product information (Digital Product Passport), and extended producer responsibility, directly impacting DEETORY's product development, labeling, and operational costs.
German Packaging Act (VerpackG) (2019, amended 2022)
The German Packaging Act (Verpackungsgesetz), effective January 1, 2019, and updated in 2022, aims to reduce packaging waste by requiring producers to participate in a dual system for recycling and meet recycling quotas.
DEETORY must ensure its packaging is compliant with German recycling regulations, register with the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR), and contribute to recycling systems, potentially increasing operational costs but aligning with their sustainable image.
