Textile & Apparel
industry became the
second largest
polluting industry in
the world.
We always can't see the forest for the trees.
As a consumer :
“Behavioral Economics” just urges people to buy and buy crazily.
“What about the clothes in wardrobe? Throw it away directly or abandon as recycled old clothes ?
As an apparel second-hand apparel recycler :
“What about my business when the markets in Africa and Southeast Asia are shrinking ?"
As fashion brands :
The distribution of shopping coupons to customers in the name of old clothes recycling rewards has virtually boosted sales. This is almost contrary to the concept of sustainability.
The real Forest is :
When we live peacefully on this beautiful planet, the world has changed substantially. It gradually became a dirty planet.
Discarded old clothes are transported by containers from developed countries to underdeveloped countries, enter the second-hand clothing distribution market, and are selected, or thrown into the lake or into the sea, or burned.
Among them, synthetic textiles may need to be used for hundreds of years to decompose, and the impact endangers future generations . It is already really poor in those underdeveloped countries, but they still need to pay for the waste of resources caused by the high-speed operation of the world economy. It’s really a tragedy.
Waste is a part of the fashion business model. Up to 40% of the global clothing brands are overproduced and consumed. This is the crime of some overproducing brands, and it will be necessary to reduce their production and consumption.
The carbon emissions of fashion industry account for about 2% - 8% of the global total emissions.
Every year, 100 billion pieces of clothing are produced in the world,of which 60% are discarded within a year( discarded after wearing 7times per capita ), and meanwhile 1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent is produced at the same time.
One Piece of clothing = 12 kg CO2 emission
It has exceeded the sum of international flights and sea transportation.
The era of winning by volume has passed, and what remains will eventually be a better choice.
