In addition to considering problem factors in the textile industry along the value chain, this report also looks at the market situation for sustainable clothing. At the end of the report, we summarize the recommendations for action and relevant topics for representatives of politics that have emerged from the findings and point out the political adjustment screws that can be used to improve the manifold problems presented by the state.
