The textile eco-score is an environmental display system that has officially been rolled out in France from October 1, 2025. Inspired by the food Nutri-score, this indicator aims to measure the environmental impact of a garment throughout its life cycle, from fiber production to end-of-life. Its aim is to help consumers make more informed and responsible choices, while encouraging brands to reduce their ecological footprint.
The eco-score, also known as the " textile environmental cost " in France, is based on an official methodology validated by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. This method is based on life-cycle analysis (LCA) and takes into account 16 different environmental indicators, such as water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water pollution, waste production and the release of plastic microfibers.
The score is expressed in environmental points: the higher the score, the greater the garment's ecological impact. Scoring is standardized on 100 grams of product to enable fair comparison between items of different weight and function (for example, a thick wool sweater versus a lightweight T-shirt).
The calculation combines :
A database developed by ADEME (the French Agency for Ecological Transition) serves as a benchmark, supplemented by adjustments to integrate the impact of microplastics and the negative effects of fast-fashion. This industry is under particular scrutiny, with legislative proposals to financially penalize high-impact clothing via this display system.
Since October 1, 2025, displaying theeco-score on clothing has been voluntary, but strongly encouraged. Brands wishing to display their score can do so on in-store labels, via a QR code or on their websites. This transparency becomes a differentiating asset and a confidence-building lever for consumers sensitive to sustainable fashion.
From October 2026, third-party players (such as NGOs, retailers or even competitors) will be able to calculate and publish the eco-score of products from brands that have not done so themselves, based on default assumptions. This means that companies run a reputational risk if they delay playing the game.
This display system will transform the way consumers perceive fashion and their purchasing choices, by highlighting environmental criteria that were previously less visible. It also encourages brands to adopt more sustainable practices, from material selection to product design, waste management and garment longevity. In addition, the textile eco-score is part of a broader dynamic driven by the AGEC (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy) law and the 2021 Climate and Resilience law, which aim to reduce the overall environmental impact of the textile sector in France.
The textile eco-score is therefore a major step forward for sustainable fashion in France, an invitation to consume better and a strong signal for the industry to move towards production that is more respectful of the planet.
