Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation of raw materials and finished products.

Air emissions

Textile disposal

Carbon Emissions: The energy-intensive processes contribute to high levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Water emissions

Textile Dyeing: The process of coloring fabrics, which can lead to significant water pollution.

Benefits of fast fashion

Short production cycles.

Fast fashion: inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends.

Labor regulations

No more sweatshops

Pollution due to chemical runoff and greenhouse gasses.

Repetitive flow production.

Reducing costs

Offshoring, relocating business processes or production to another country to reduce costs.

Sustainability in fashion: Sustainable clothing uses biodegradable components from natural or recycled fibers. These materials grow with no pesticide or fertilizer use, consume less energy and water, and employ no chemical treatment, thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of these brands.

Renewable because they recycle and upcycle clothing to extend the lifecycle.

Sustainably produced materials because of the use of resources and energy which reduces waste.

Eco-Friendly Materials like the use of organic materials, recycled, natural fibers like plants and biodegradable materials.
