Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It's clear that you care about the environmental impact of the clothing, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you want the Government to require retailers to disclose the factories in which their products are made, you may wish to sign this petition instead: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/230026
