In 2018, doubts were raised on the accuracy of these composition claims on labels on the Dutch market. The Ministry of Infrastructure & Waterways commissioned Circle Economy to investigate the assumption that labels on garments are inaccurate, to map the consequences of inaccurate composition claims, and to identify the measures required to tackle the challenge of misleading labels. The research mainly investigates garments made of low-cost fabrics, with a low market value. The study assesses accuracy of labels on monomaterial post-consumer garments, across 8 fractions, by comparing the categorisation of the Fibersort with the composition claim on the labels.
