Overview
- Carrefour began a pilot on about 70 Tex items that shows the environmental score via the Clear Fashion app, with shoppers scanning barcodes to see the rating plus a separate 0–100 note from Clear Fashion.
- After evaluating the trial, Carrefour plans to apply the system across all of its textile collections and says it is the first in the sector to deploy the optional label.
- The eco-score totals environmental impact in points where higher figures mean greater cost, with Carrefour citing 510 points per 100g for an organic Tex T-shirt, over 1,000 for a comparable fast-fashion T-shirt, and an average of 542.91 across evaluated garments.
- Coopérative U will add the measure to 220 products from the Spring–Summer 2026 range by late January, offering access via in-store QR codes that link to a detailed digital catalog.
- The scheme remains voluntary under the 2021 Climat et Résilience framework as the EU develops a harmonized label, and Max Havelaar France’s Valeria Rodriguez welcomed the moves while urging mandatory adoption with social criteria.
