It’s an open secret in fashion. Unsold inventory goes to the incinerator; excess handbags are slashed so they can’t be resold; perfectly usable products are sent to the landfill to avoid discounts and flash sales. The European Union wants to put an end to these unsustainable practices. On Monday, [December 4, 2023], it banned the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear.

“It is time to end the model of ‘take, make, dispose’ that is so harmful to our planet, our health and our economy,” MEP Alessandra Moretti said in a statement. “Banning the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear will contribute to a shift in the way fast fashion manufacturers produce their goods.”

This comes as part of a broader push to tighten sustainable fashion legislation, with new policies around ecodesign, greenwashing and textile waste phasing in over the next few years. The ban on destroying unsold goods will be among the longer lead times: large businesses have two years to comply, and SMEs have been granted up to six years. It’s not yet clear on whether the ban applies to companies headquartered in the EU, or any that operate there, as well as how this ban might impact regions outside of Europe.

For many, this is a welcome decision that indirectly tackles the controversial topics of overproduction and degrowth. Policymakers may not be directly telling brands to produce less, or placing limits on how many units they can make each year, but they are penalising those overproducing, which is a step in the right direction, says Eco-Age sustainability consultant Philippa Grogan. “This has been a dirty secret of the fashion industry for so long. The ban won’t end overproduction on its own, but hopefully it will compel brands to be better organised, more responsible and less greedy.”

Clarifications to come

There are some kinks to iron out, says Scott Lipinski, CEO of Fashion Council Germany and the European Fashion Alliance (EFA). The EFA is calling on the EU to clarify what it means by both “unsold goods” and “destruction”. Unsold goods, to the EFA, mean they are fit for consumption or sale (excluding counterfeits, samples or prototypes)...

The question of what happens to these unsold goods if they are not destroyed is yet to be answered. “Will they be shipped around the world? Will they be reused as deadstock or shredded and downcycled? Will outlet stores have an abundance of stock to sell?” asks Grogan.

Large companies will also have to disclose how many unsold consumer products they discard each year and why, a rule the EU is hoping will curb overproduction and destruction...

Could this shift supply chains?

For Dio Kurazawa, founder of sustainable fashion consultancy The Bear Scouts, this is an opportunity for brands to increase supply chain agility and wean themselves off the wholesale model so many rely on. “This is the time to get behind innovations like pre-order and on-demand manufacturing,” he says. “It’s a chance for brands to play with AI to understand the future of forecasting. Technology can help brands be more intentional with what they make, so they have less unsold goods in the first place.”

Grogan is equally optimistic about what this could mean for sustainable fashion in general. “It’s great to see that this is more ambitious than the EU’s original proposal and that it specifically calls out textiles. It demonstrates a willingness from policymakers to create a more robust system,” she says. “Banning the destruction of unsold goods might make brands rethink their production models and possibly better forecast their collections.”

One of the outstanding questions is over enforcement. Time and again, brands have used the lack of supply chain transparency in fashion as an excuse for bad behaviour. Part of the challenge with the EU’s new ban will be proving that brands are destroying unsold goods, not to mention how they’re doing it and to what extent, says Kurazawa. “Someone obviously knows what is happening and where, but will the EU?”"

Times are changing, and so are the fashion preferences of men. The erstwhile inundation of the fashion collections we witnessed is now giving way to the slow fashion rhetoric. People worldwide are embracing sustainable fashion, and for all the right reasons. A recent study illustrates that 69 percent of the surveyed men said that sustainability is vital for the global economy, whereas 31 percent affirmed that it mattered for their communities' businesses. Men are prioritizing environmental issues with lucidly observable consequences such as re-using, recycling, conservation, and so forth. So, without further ado, let us look at the five most loved sustainable brands in the Indian fashion marketplace.

Exploring Eco-Friendly Packaging

What is Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging uses materials and production processes that yield a minimal environmental impact. The aim is to be environmentally friendly.

Benefits of Sustainable Packaging

Biodegradable - They are made from either plant-based or recycled materials that naturally degrade without leaving toxic waste.

Compostable - Decomposes naturally through commercial compost processes. Leaves no trace of plastic.

Recyclable - Commodities consisting of post-consumer recycled paper are recyclable.

Accountable Materials - For example, mushroom fibers, banana leaves, and algae reduce the over-reliance on plastic and the excessive processes involved.

Ethical production - the use of sustainably sourced, locally produced, and fairly traded materials has proven to improve lives while having a lighter impact on the environment.

Small Carbon Footprint - Eco packaging vastly reduces the carbon emissions resulting from traditional manufacturing and waste.

Simple Swaps

Paper or Plastics - Go for paper envelopes, boxes and filler made from recycled content. Don’t use plastic poly bags and bubbles.

Glass vs Plastic - Choose glass bottles over single-use plastics because glass is infinitely recyclable.Support plastic reduction initiatives.

Compostable vs. Styrofoam - Replace styrofoam peanuts with compostable corn starch alternatives. Support the ban on non-recyclable products.

For stylish, zero waste, environmentally friendly packaging solutions pay a visit to Chalogreen. They manufacture their products which are entirely plant-based thus saving the planet.

Oh, so this is how the side couple is gonna go, huh? I see what's being done. We got the I Am Super Manly Dude who goes after girls to cover up for everything and then we have the adorable mom friend with a giant crush.

I'm already doomed. Absolutely doomed. The narrative has doomed me. I adore him already. This boy is my fashion design baby.

#intern in my heart #thai drama #thai series #i adore top so much #he is my absolute baby #i just want to save him from the fast fashion of it all #and give him a good place in a sustainable brand

Ok one more post about natural fiber clothes 'cause I just get so many (sometimes quite nice, sometimes not very nice) requests for such things lately:

So I may release some test items through Witch Vamp at some point soonish whenever I have anything good enough to at least put into a sample sale, but I want to start warning everyone now that ultimately natural fiber clothing might end up under a totally separate "sister brand" and not stay a part of Witch Vamp itself.

I think the price point, audience, average customer, and selling points will be different enough (even if there's plenty of crossover at first) that I strongly suspect natural fiber clothing items would do better with their own branding. Recently this hunch of mine was backed up by a business mentor I've just started meeting with, who immediately said "you might want to think about starting another brand for that" when I mentioned that figuring out natural fiber options for clothing is one of the big goals I want to tackle next.

It would still just be me & my bf running both shops, so that means we need to be sure we can handle Witch Vamp with time, money, energy, and braincells to spare before moving forward with a second brand. Just another factor to keep in mind, but I hope you'll all look forward to my new brand venture if & when it does happen!!

#day 1 of our break is a day for pondering many things it would seem #also I've had a brand name in mind for a really long time even before i new what I'd want to use it for #so if we do start another brand with a focus on natural fiber & sustainable fashion I'm really excited to get to use that name #wish us luck and let's hope that my too much genes don't get me crushed underneath the weight of my high ambitions #witch vamp #text post #natural fiber clothes #future talk #fashion #clothing #indie brand #small business

Honestly, I made that joke about Van’s ancient desktop, but it probably works better than new computers. And it made me think: god, Van must HATE planned obsolescence. Stuff that’s built to die? Stuff that’s built to fall apart in a matter of years just to force you to buy more? For a person whose whole deal is gripping tight to the past, to old technology that still works perfectly fine, to the idea of survival threaded through everything from the stories she tells to the machines she rents out? Yeah, dude. No wonder she hates her cell phone. Not only does it force the illusion of connection without actually granting intimacy, but it’s doomed from the minute you take the thing out of the box. For Van, the very idea has got to be offensive.

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers #yj meta #van palmer #like you grow up in the 90s in a home that probably doesn’t have a high tax bracket situation #you’re gonna learn to value things for their longevity to begin with #but then you get stranded in the woods with maybe two suitcases you gotta make last for two years?#repurposing and recycling every little thing just to keep warm and alive?#yeah the whole of Van’s adult life is a nostalgia bubble for a host of reasons #but one is almost definitely that the 2021 reality of fast fashion and temporary tech must feel heinous. antithetical to survival.#better to buy old jeans that’ll last 50 years and wear boots passed down from your grandfather #and stock your shelves with machines you know how to fix and tapes you know how to wind back together if they get eaten #Van couldn’t escape the woods in her heart so she just built her entire aesthetic around leaning into the old like it was by choice #right down to living in the ‘attic’ above the place that sustains her existence #I cannot imagine her with a brand new MacBook she knows she’ll have to replace in three years #of course she’s got a desktop from the mid-90s

Genuinely can’t tell if I’m being a bit delusional with my dreams or if not 😅 I soooooo badly want to quit my job before the summer but I feel like I need to have everything Ready and be Making Money before I justify quitting - I’m just so worried I will pour all this time and effort and energy in and have it flop 🥲

#and if it does that’s ok I’ll get a different job #but I’m so ready for it to work and I’m so worried it won’t #and just every second I spend here make me feel like my soul is being sucked out #personal #rabbit rambles #Ive been working on logos and brand colors and graphics and stuff #and I just wanna focus on it 100%#and I’d have so much more time #but I’m so scared it won’t take off or work or be sustainable #to be honest I’m not looking for Millions of Dollars #but I’d love to be able to do it full time …..
