The Importance Of Sustainable Fashion

  Fashion is one of the planets most wasteful industries, with 2,000+ garments discarded every second. By purchasing these second-hand garments, you are reducing environmental harm and building a sustainable future for fashion. Here's how;

1) Reducing Waste, Studies prove that 85% of all textiles produced end up in landfills or incinerators.

2) Conserving Resources, It takes around 2,700 liters of water to produce a single cotton t-shirt.

3) Decreasing Carbon footprint, reusing clothes reduces the carbon footprint of a garment by up to 80% compared to buying new. The global fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, which is more than international flights and shipping combined. Reusing clothes can drastically cut down on this carbon footprint, as the energy required to produce new items is avoided.

 4) Reducing Chemical pollution, The fashion industry is one of the largest users of chemicals, with 10,000 different chemicals used in the process of dyeing and finishing fabrics. Second-hand fashion helps minimize the demand for these chemicals.

 5) Decreasing Demand for Fast Fashion, Fast Fashion promotes overconsumption and poor labor conditions.
