"Ecological economic policy shall be understood as the sum of political, economical and environmental measurements aimed at the entire economy dematerialization and the dematerialization shall be ""imposed"" since the designing stage of goods and services"". European textile and clothing industry with a long leading tradition in terms of innovation, fashion and creativity, continues to be one of Europe's major industrial sectors. Textile industry affects the environment by high consumption of water, energy and chemicals, as well as by the large amount of waste it generates as a result of using a large number of chemicals and technological processes.Textile waste prevention, reduction and ecological exploitation require the implementation of new management and education tools.Introduction“Europe must learn from the experience of global economic and financial crisis ""- this was the conclusion of the European Commission that has elaborated a ten-year strategy designed to reinvigorate the economy and make possible a growth which is ""intelligent, sustainable and favorable to inclusion"", by a better coordination of national and European policies.Adapting infrastructure and logistics that encourage the marketing of ""sustainable"", ""fair traded"" and ""green"" products as well as other special „green” products will facilitate the movement towards dematerialization and eco-efficiency among producers."
