Circular fashion
Circular fashion is clothing that is made, used, disposed of and recycled. It is meant that the clothes have a purpose after their lifetime. This means that its parts can be used in the future to make something new.
What is it exactly?
The circular fashion industry is explained as a renewed system in which garments are circulated as long as their maximum value is maintained and then safely returned to the biosphere when no longer used. The best thing we can do is buy less and reuse more. If everyone bought just one used item this year instead of new, it would make a huge difference and have a positive impact on the planet. Circular fashion pieces should be designed with organic and recycled fabrics, they should also be sourced and produced with priority on recyclable resources and ethical practices.
Benefits
You have several benefits of Circular fashion, here are the 4 most important ones.
- Less waste ends up in our landfills
- Creating environmentally friendly industries and jobs
- Green energy is encouraged and pollution can be reduced
- Reduction of environmental damage
Why it should be used
First of all it is much better for the environment and there is a lot less waste which is also better for our co2. So we want to move away from fast fashion, fast fashion is cheap, poor quality clothing, designed to be worn one day and thrown away the next. This means that non-renewable substances such as oil for fertilisers and chemical finishes are added to the global emissions, moreover the microplastic released from synthetic fabrics during washing and wearing could equal 22 million tons of pollution in our oceans by 2050, with negative consequences such as poisoning wildlife and entering the human food chain. Therefore circular fashion!
