A few months ago, the British online fashion and cosmetics retailer ASOS launched its first circular collection.
A huge game-changer in the sustainable fashion world is the increasing number of brands incorporating the circular economy.
There are two general approaches to zero-waste fashion: creative pattern making, which uses 100 percent of a given material, and upcycling.
Natural fibres are derived from nature, such as cotton and flax, or from animals, such as silk and wool.
Renting, borrowing, repairing, swapping, recycling, thoughtfully designing, upcycling, and recreating are all examples of circular fashion.
Companies can use sustainability as a “marketing ploy” – a practice known as greenwashing.
The total volume of global textile and fashion production is estimated to be more than 30 million tonnes per year.
