In recent years, the European Union has introduced a series of new regulations on sustainability and the circular economy, with the textile industry being one of the key areas under scrutiny. These regulations not only change how products are designed and manufactured, but also reshape collaboration models across global supply chains. For Taiwan’s export-oriented textile sector, this means accelerating the pace of sustainable transformation in order to remain competitive in the European market—while turning challenges into opportunities for brand and technological upgrades.

The global textile industry imposes a significant burden on the environment. According to statistics, the carbon emissions from the textile industry account for approximately 8–10% of global emissions, which is the combined total of the aviation and shipping industries. The annual water usage reaches 93 billion cubic meters, enough to supply drinking water for 5 million people for a year. The dyeing and finishing process causes about 20% of industrial wastewater pollution. Additionally, the total volume of clothing waste amounts to 92 million tons, of which 87% is incinerated or buried. Against this backdrop, the shift of the textile industry toward eco-friendly and sustainable materials has become urgent. This not only helps reduce resource consumption, wastewater, and carbon emissions, but also promotes the circular economy and supply chain transparency, ending the industry's high-consumption mode that harms the planet.

The textile industry was a leading sector in Taiwan's early industrialization stage. The growth and achievements of the textile industry also led to the development of other industrial sectors. The garment manufacturing industries are downstream industries in the textile industry chain. Its upstream includes fiber manufacturing, chemical additives, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, and other industries. The garment manufacturing industry are the processing stage in the industry chain. It is also an important industry that gives added value to textiles.
