Hero Frock Hire — Australia’s largest costume resource for the screen industry — is at risk of closing.

If it disappears, a unique collection that has supported Australian film and television for over 30 years could be dismantled, lost overseas, or discarded.

Rethinking “pleather” would be good, especially in footwear. It’s the main item we have to dispose of at Hero ( bad faux leather)

A quiet rule change in Europe is set to transform how the fashion industry treats waste and responsibility. Starting July 2026, the European Union will officially prohibit the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes, forcing major brands to rethink overproduction.

Instead of discarding usable items, companies must now prioritize recycling, reuse, and smarter production planning. This landmark decision marks a decisive shift toward sustainability in a resource-intensive industry, proving that progress often begins by setting firm boundaries against unnecessary environmental waste.

The new regulations ensure that waste is no longer acceptable in our global future. By mandating circularity, the EU is pushing fashion toward a more ethical model where value is preserved rather than burned or buried in a landfill.
