sustainability of your garments

The fashion and glamour industry loves in telling you what you have to do; buy this pant, wear this top and pair this dress with those accessories, shoes or bag. Today, sustainable fashion is very much in. It is all about being friendly and caring to our environment by being creative when it comes to our wardrobe choices and responsible with the resources.

In today’s fast-paced world, people hardly have the time to research and check the supply chain of every brand. However, there are several ways to help customers to make the best choice.

Although there are innumerable incredible ways of checking as to whether your garment is truly sustainable, but the four best clues include:

 

Clean Tech:

Every small thing in life comes with its positives and negatives and textiles too are no different. In fact, no textile is sustainable. For instance, organic cotton despite being grown under stringent regulations often are bleached indicating heavy chemical loads post finishing.

On the other hand fabrics manufactured from cupro and bamboo are processed with toxins for transforming the hard plant fibers known as cellusoic into the tender, soft final products and thus are called rayon.

Yet another regenerative cellulosic fiber called Lyocell derived from the Eucalyptus tree is processed via a petrochemical solution, yet 99.5% of this cocktail is collected and then reused. This process uses less water, thereby proving that few technologies can affect the ecological bottom line of fabrics. So check what your garments are manufactured with.

Fair production:

Usually, there is a disconnection between the garments and the weavers. In fact, the garment industry is among the only industries, which are not capable of deflating their labour force via the utilization of machinery. After all, a machine cannot make great shoes or sew an attractive dress; you need heads and human hands involved.

Thus, with this knowledge, it is critical that those manufactured the apparels that you dress in are made in a protected environment and paid a reasonable wage. Companies that follow an ethical production method generally make it well known on either their website or apparel’s hangtag.

No waste:

Renowned fashion industries today are championing on the concept of zero or no waste via respecting the materials that they use and not wasting the resources, which went into manufacturing the textile going in a landfill.

The technique of zero waste cutting often offers novel levels of innovation and creativity to existing creative designs.

You find it appealing:

Caught in a mesmerizing daze in front of the closet? Above all a sustainable garment is something that you will always get hold first from your closet.

This is your tried as well as true closet staples, which you will keep while making it last forever. This is indeed the mainstay of eco fashion.
