The clothing industry has a huge negative impact on the environment, making up about 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions and 20% of industrial wastewater. While we need clothes, the clothing we choose does not need to have a negative impact on the environment. Textiles can be recycled and reused, fabrics can be made from recycled materials and cotton can be grown without harmful chemicals.

The responsibility for sustainable clothing is on both the consumer and the manufacturer. Companies, like us, have a responsibility to use sustainability sourced fabrics. Choose manufacturers that work to reduce waste and make choices throughout the production process that prioritise reducing environmental impact. As a consumer, you have the power to choose what brands you support and be aware of the impact the clothes you buy have on the world.
