As the fashion industry is one of the biggest industries worldwide with an annual revenue of 1 trillion dollars per year, it is highly important to turn this industry into a sustainable one. According to Sustain Your Style, we produce 80 billion pieces of clothing every year. With that being said, in the US only, every person is responsible for 35kg textile waste per year. Not only can we change the industry so that it will have a really low impact on the environment, we can also contribute a vast amount to the well-being and work conditions of people involved in the industry. By being conscious and with the help of a few simple steps, it is possible for everyone to have a more sustainable wardrobe.
“The most environmentally sustainable jacket is the one that’s already in your closet…”
So, by implementing these four steps, it will be really easy to reduce your textile waste and have a more sustainable closet. It is okay to buy new clothes but keep in mind that not every brand is sustainable. Look them up and check their sustainable impact. We can help ourselves, the environment, and all the people involved in producing your clothes. Together we can make the world green! Source:
