Circularity
This statistic says it all: “the number of garments produced annually has doubled since 2000 and exceeded 100 billion for the first time since 2014”. It is estimated that the fashion industry creates 92 million tons of textile waste annually. Shockingly, every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned globally.
Fashion is also the second largest consumer of the world’s water supply. Nearly 20% of the global water waste is created by the fashion industry. This amounts to 93 billion meters of water used annually just for textile production. Fashion also accounts for 5% of the worlds landfill, in-fact 85% of textiles go into landfills each year. Another devastating statistic is that the global apparel and footwear industry produced more greenhouse gases than France, Germany and the UK combined in 2018, totalling 2.1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions (4% of global emissions), without significant action, the figure could rise to 2.7 billion tonnes a year by 2030.
Just like the radical changes that the happened to the automobile industry, the same has to happen to fashion.
The core change has to be from the route of the supply chain to the end consumer. As well as becoming leaner and more digital, Fashion needs to become more circular. Most brand’s buy their collections assuming they will have 20-30% waste at the end of the season. If a brand wants to sell 100 units, they will buy 130 and figure this excess into their margin and bottom-line. As Vogue Business said, “Circularity is still a nascent business model for the fashion industry, though it’s emerging as a greater priority as brands look to drastically reduce carbon emissions and waste and using new sources”.
The Circular Fashion Summit by Lablaco in partnership with Vogue Business, PwC, Anthesis, Startupbootcamp and other leading organisations has created a circular fashion report 2020 with a goal to provide unique insights on the new digitalised circular economy. Susan Harris, Technical Director for Anthesis explains, “Circular fashion is about moving away from a linear model of “take, make, dispose” and moving towards a new, regenerative model that can help us meet the UN Sustainable Development goals and revolutionise our consumption and production patterns to achieve a more sustainable world”.
We will work with you to design waste and pollution out: products and materials are kept in use and made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs.
Sustainability
We will work with you to evaluate your existing supply chain and help you reduce your waste, be more sustainable, from upstream to downstream.
Ultimately as well as evaluating all the processes, it's important to try and reduce the overall consumption and overproduction. Be this from improved forecasting, or moving part of the production to on-demand, to recycling to reviewing the mix between core and newness, there are many ways to do this but it's paramount to any brand wanting to be sustainable.
We can help source sustainable raw materials, work with you on your carbon emissions, support with selling dead stock and reusing leftover raw materials.
