How does fashion waste impact the environment?

• @zerowastevictoria Sustainable Fashion – is it possible? - 3:00pm in The Edge, Fed Square - Saturday 17 September. Redressing the future of Fashion. Trying to shop sustainably is not always easy in a world dominated by ‘fast fashion’. While this makes high turnover clothing affordable, there are negative environmental and social impacts in clothing production. And the waste is enormous with 23 kg of clothing per person ending up in landfill each year. Change in the way we treat fashion needs to happen now. Learn where you can start, what you can do, and hear from some inspiring individuals who are shifting the fashion paradigm. Hear from  * Aife Oloughlin, @salvosstores, Customer Experience Manager * Patricia McCarthy-Henry,  Educator at RMIT and Knitwear Designer at @pmaxi_knit * Ben Kaminsky, @textile.recycling * Nat Stratos, Circular Design Practitioner and Consultant * Katrina Naish, @afittingconnection (panel moderator) Entry to the Zero Waste Festival is free.

Today might almost be over but I really had a rough time deciding on what to do today. #BlackFriday is a day that produces a huge amount of #Fashionwaste and most people don't even know that or think about it. So this holiday season, instead of supporting the mass-produced-over-manufactured stores... (not to mention these places don't pay fare wages to the people who make the clothes...), try to shop small and local whenever you can. Support the designers and makers in your community and don't be afraid to go #thrifting! 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After thinking about it all day, I've decided that for the whole weekend I'll be offering a BOGO 50% off deal on 10 made-to-order accessories AND on top of that I'll be donating 10% of your order total to @fash_rev . Oh, and that 10% donation also includes anything bought on my site this weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOWEVER to place an order you on these BOGO styles you must contact me through email [email protected] or a DM. Being a small business also means I can only afford to do so much with my website, sorry! 🤷‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scroll through to see what qualifies, pick your favorites, and DM/email me to purchase. Invoices will be sent through email. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Qualifying Accessories: HARPER BRACELET RAEGHAN EARRINGS WYNN HAIR PINS SASHA EARRINGS OLIANA NECKLACE RUE EARRINGS NIRA NECKLACE TATE BRACELET FELICIA EARRINGS SARAFINA HAIR COMB (at Alyson Nicole) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dsPiWjXWR/?igshid=1em0w14vli074

The UN Alliance has called for coordinated action towards tackling #social and #environmentalissues in the #clothing industry, including #responsible #resourceuse, #equalpay for garment workers and improved #recycling efforts.    #Fashionwaste to hit £4.5bn 15 OCTOBER 2019BY GRACE WHELAN Fashion waste is predicted to cost the UK economy £4.48bn by 2050 if the industry doesn’t clean up its act and bolster its recycling efforts, new data has found. The global fashion industry is responsible for 1.7 billion tonnes of #CO2emissions and a loss of more than £414bn every year as a result of #wastedclothing, research from direct lender Money Boat has found. A total of 73% of #oldclothing items are sent to landfill or are incinerated each year, equating to 2,625kg of wasted clothing. To manufacture they would produce 600,000kg of CO2 emissions. In 2015 this waste represented a global loss of more than £82.8bn. If #clothing #consumption rises in line with GDP projections, as many as 2.48 trillion #fashion items will be produced over the next 30 years. #Recycling the estimated 148 million tonnes of global #fashion #waste between now and 2050 would free up £3.7bn for the global economy by 2030. Reducing projected GHG emissions by 2.8 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year would save £62bn over the next 10 years. https://www.drapersonline.com/news/fashion-waste-to-hit-45bn/7038023.article #creativerecycling #creativewastemanagement #upcycling #reuse #reduce #DURGA #fashionrevolution @fash_revnld @fash_rev @dutchsustainablefashionweek (at Durga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uWkl4guVt/?igshid=mjhpd068rkqk

Did you know... Synthetic 🔬fabrics like polyester, spandex, nylon, take between 20 years and 200 years to break down? This is one of the reason why our 🧶knitwear only uses plant 🌱derived fibres: we use bamboo🎋, linen and organic cotton in our collection of jumpers.
