Eco-modulation, a driver for more sustainable fashion

This bonus rewards the physical durability of products, based on criteria defined by product type and detailed in the 2025 eco-modulation guide. 

The bonus for each product reference is €0.70 or €0.07 (depending on volumes placed on the market) multiplied by a factor specific to the 11 product categories liable(detailed in the guide).

New in 2025: seven new types of eligible products /categories.

As of 1 January 2023, finished products with one or more of the eight certification labels below are eligible for a bonus.

Eligible labels: Ecocert® ERTS Level 2, Oeko-tex® Made in Green, Bluesign®, Fairtrade® Textile, European Ecolabel, Demeter ®, GOTS and Bioré®. 

The bonus for each product reference is €0.30 or €0.03 depending on the category (clothing, household linen, footwear) and the volumes placed on the market.

NB : For this label criteria, only one bonus is awarded per reference, even if it has more than one certification label. If a single product has multiple combined labels, it can only receive one bonus, not several.

On 1st January 2025, a new eco-modulation penalty was introduced. 

It establishes two penalties for finished products that contain elements that affect their recyclability : 

• Metalloplastic fibres

• Electronic or electrical components in clothing, household linen and footwear (excluding RFID-type traceability devices).

The total amount of the penalty is detailed by product line in the list of products subjected or excluded. .

NB: the two penalties can be applied together. Any  product subject to a penalty will not be eligible for a bonus.
