��clothing sustainability

• After the oil industry, the textile manufaturing is the largest polluter in the world.
• It results in clothing, furniture covers, carpets, shoes, sheets, pillowcases, towels, etc. They are „unsustainable” goods, which production consumes huge amounts of energy and raw materials, diverting large areas of land from the food chain.
• Recycled textiles, although it may be an option, doesn’t solve the problem of textile waste huge amounts that are generated worldwide.

Choose clothes and footwear that are made from sustainable materials, using eco-friendly technologies!

Buy quality clothes/shoes – they last longer!

• What does sustainable clothing mean? �Well, sustainable fashion incorporates brands and designers whose items could include the following features:

• Organic, natural and biodegradable fabrics, as cotton textiles or wool;
• Recycled clothing or reused materials;
• Non-toxic dyes;
• Zero waste cutting methods;
• Plastic-free packaging;
• Traditional craft techniques;
• Items that never go out of fashion;
• Closed circuit rental or recycling;
• Vintage or second hand stores.

~FAST FASHION~

"Fast fashion" is a business model that most retail stores are following.

If a decade ago there were four seasons in a year, now there are more than ten!

The short and frequent seasons encourage shopping, and speed up the pace until clothing becomes obsolete.

Clothing is produced in huge quantities and can be sold at low prices.

But, there are a lot of clothes that remain unsold!��

SECOND� HAND

• Second-hand trade is not a fad, but an adaptation to the new demands of the market
• There are people who’d rather buy quality clothes, which, although used, are in very good condition than new ones, but of questionable quality.

• Currently, according to official statistics, most of the world’s population wears second-hand clothes.

DONATE !!!

• Donate clothes that are in good condition�Whether you are bored with some of the items of clothing that you have bought or no longer fit your style, or they are too small for you, consider the option of donating clothes you no longer wear.
• This may seem inappropriate to you, but it may be a joy to others.

DONATE!

• Clothes become obsolete from year to year, we do too much shopping

In every woman’s closet, if not in a man’s closet, there are at least 20% of clothes that are worn very rarely or never.

In the world, but also in Romania, many companies have appeared that urge social responsibility and offer resources for the process of recycling clothes, to become a habit for consumers.

A good method to support sustainability would be the „exchange of clothes”. Everything is very simple,and there are different methods to do that. Just imagine organizing a meeting with your girlfriends and exchanging clothes. This way you give up boring clothes for yourself and get something new in your wardrobe.
