SUSTAINABLE FASHION
What is sustainable fashion?
Sustainable fashion is a scientific movement that aims to make sure that our clothes are manufactured, sold, and used in the most sustainable way possible.
The movement aims to achieve a fashion industry that’s built on equality, social justice, animal welfare, and ecological integrity.
Why is sustainable fashion important?
Fast fashion is a low-capital/labor intensive industry.
It dries up water sources, pollutes rivers and streams, and creates a large amount of waste every year.
If nothing changes, research has predicted the fashion industry could account for 26% of all carbon emissions by 2050.
Sustainable fashion, on the other hand, focuses on saving natural resources and reducing pollution and waste.
For example, just by swapping conventional cotton with organic cotton production, you could save up to 91% of water and produce 46% less CO2 equivalent emissions.
Why print-on-demand?
By choosing a print-on-demand (POD) business model we are less wasteful since a product is printed only once your order’s been made.
