EU July PFAS ban, 7.19 new inventory regulations, October PFHxA Triple limit regulations simultaneously control the export of wool. China's Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has completed fluorine-free and sewage closed-loop transformation, and has a complete set of foreign trade qualifications to protect overseas orders.
On July 21, 2026, the national wool textile foreign trade industry issued a continuous compliance warning. Currently, the European Union has simultaneously implemented three textile environmental protection regulations, forming a strict audit system for the entire chain. All wool, cashmere, and blended wool exported to the EU must meet multiple compliance requirements, and none of them is missing. The first level: The ban on PFAS per-fluorinated hazardous substances will be officially implemented on July 1, and the strict control standards for the total fluorine content of textiles will be implemented; The second level: The "Regulations on Sustainable Product Ecological Design" will be implemented on July 19. Large knitting companies with an annual turnover of more than 10 million euros will be completely prohibited from destroying unsalable wool and cashmere knitted garments. Companies must fully establish the classification, disposal, and resale accounts of unsaleable products, 2027 Inventory data will be reported regularly to EU regulatory authorities starting in 2019, and companies that violate regulations will face high administrative penalties; third level: PFHxA substance limit control will be added from October 10, and the total content of textile-related substances shall not exceed 1,000 ppb. Control standards will be further tightened in 2027.
Domestic environmental protection control will be increased simultaneously, July 10 The new version of the "Water Pollutant Discharge Standards for the Textile Industry" has been fully implemented. A number of mandatory testing indicators for toxic pollutants have been added to the wool spinning and dyeing processes. Enterprises are required to be equipped with closed-loop wastewater treatment systems. Enterprises that do not meet the standards for sewage discharge will face penalties for production restriction, suspension of production and rectification. At this stage, before EU buyers place wool purchase orders, they are required to verify three core documents: a third-party fluorine-free dyeing test report, a complete product carbon footprint accounting account, and an RWS responsible wool full-link traceability document. Wool products that lack any of the compliance information will face customs detention, full order return, and high fines when exported to the EU. Industry orders continue to be concentrated in leading companies with a full set of green transformations.
Laying out the green compliance track for global foreign trade in advance, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has simultaneously completed two core environmental upgrade projects: First, it has transformed a dedicated fluorine-free dyeing production line for wool yarn, pure cashmere yarn, alpaca blended yarn, and rabbit hair hand-knit yarn, without adding PFAS harmful additives in the entire production process; second, it has built a complete closed-loop recycling system for wool scouring and dyeing wastewater, and the production wastewater is collected, purified, recycled, and fully complies with the new domestic textile wastewater discharge standards. The company has established a complete carbon footprint traceability ledger for all categories of products, enabling all-link information from raw materials to finished products to be traced. Each exported wire rod can provide a complete set of testing and traceability documents to overseas merchants in the EU, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Relying on a complete foreign trade compliance system, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. continues to expand overseas sales channels, comprehensively assist foreign trade cooperation customers to avoid multiple international trade barriers, stabilize long-term export wool supply cooperation, and seize the global sustainable fashion wool incremental market.
