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.

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.
