Interwoven: A Regulatory Translation Tool for Textile Disclosure Compliance (Eco-E)

InterWoven was formed to help apparel and footwear brands navigate the rapidly expanding landscape of textile disclosure laws across cross-jurisdictional markets.

Apparel has massive environmental impacts throughout its lifecycle. From convoluted supply chains to end-of-life treatment, robust circularity can significantly reduce industry-wide GHG emissions. Developing policies in the United States and European Union that promote mandatory disclosure, producer responsibility, and ecodesign requirements are changing global textile markets, signaling the end of fashion’s unregulated era. Shifting timelines and a lack of concrete specifications have left stakeholders in a holding pattern, unwilling to invest heavily until they know what's required.

Regulations such as California’s Responsible Textile Recovery Act, France’s Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy Law, and the European Union’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation introduce complex and overlapping requirements. As a result, sustainability teams are overwhelmed by fragmented data, unclear obligations, and a lack of decision-making frameworks. InterWoven will address this bottleneck for apparel and footwear brands by translating legal frameworks into clear, actionable steps for regulatory compliance. By clarifying exactly what is needed to build a compliant disclosure, InterWoven empowers companies to prepare strategically rather than reactively. InterWoven supports sustainability teams as they move from scoping to compliance to action on one platform.
