This report investigates the impacts of one of the most widely-used plastics, known as PET (for polyethyleneterephthalate) and as “polyester” in its fiber form. While PET is but one of several problematic plastics, it is emblematic of concerns that may exist with all petrochemical plastics.

In this letter the initiatives recommend three important aspects for implementing Due Dilligence at EU-level:
- Performing Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence should be risk based.
- Due diligence does not shift responsibility: companies should review their own purchasing practices
- Due diligence legislation must provide certainty and clarity (coherent standards)

Thus, the main question this paper aims to answer is whether and which sourcing practices impact working conditions in the garment sector.
