Waste is a serious issue within the fashion industry. Between the cast-offs and by-products of the production process to consumer waste, the fashion industry is a major global polluter. Each year the average family throws away around 70lbs of clothing and nearly 85% of all textiles that are discarded end up in landfills or are burned. Fast fashion and overconsumption has led to millions of tons of textile waste each year - equivalent to about a garbage truck full per second. The terrifying statistics go on and on.
While we’re certainly not zero-waste or perfect in our process, it is important to us to take steps in the right direction.
