My dad’s coffee shop, @coffeewagera, is making waves by setting a new benchmark for sustainability & zero-waste in the F&B industry - and I can't express how proud I am @mushpanjwani ! ☕️A couple things they do - (1) encourage dine-in by charging an extra Rs. 10 for takeaway cups, (2) mix sugar while making the coffee so customers don't require sugar packs and stirrers, (3) CW does not sell plastic water bottles, unlike EVERY other restaurant and cafe in the WORLD, because they have a water dispenser with clean glasses where everyone can drink water for free, (4) water wastage is used for plants, while used coffee ground is sold as skin exfoliation and soil fertilizers - and these are only a few examples! Just imagine the amount of waste that would be eliminated if every fast-food / cafe chain in the world started incorporating these super easy and simple steps into their business models... 🌿🌎💧 #pakistan #karachi #dining #food #drinks #coffeeshop #cafes #localbusinesses #sustainability #zerowaste #environment #ecofriendly #circularity #dreamy #community #empowerment #nature #climatechange #reduce #reuse #recycle

A lil #throwback to the @youthfashionsummit last year, where we worked on crafting solutions towards SDG #5 (Sustainable Development Goals - Gender Equality) in the fashion industry to present at the @copenhagenfashionsummit 🤩 Using @theofficialpandora as a case study, we came to find that for something so deeply rooted within communities, education needs to be the key catalyst in developing effective cultural narratives to aid value chain collaboration and transparency. Although there may not be much clear improvements within this SDG scope since there are still endless cases of gender discrimination, many brands are working towards other sustainability initiatives for climate change and more. This year, one of the most exciting and groundbreaking revelations at the summit (in my opinion), has been the partnership between @google and @stellamccartney 😻 If you haven't heard already, "the tech giant and eco-luxury brand plan to track the environmental impact of cotton and viscose, two of the most commonly used fibres in clothing. Their goal: create a tool that can quantify even the most obscure links in the fashion supply chain." - as put by @bof. With google's data algorithms and analytic tools, brands will get a much clearer view into the very initial stage of their supply chain - the sourcing of raw materials before it goes into production. Super excited to see what their little experiment yields, and hopefully some day the same technology can be used to combat gender inequalities and workplace discrimination. 🙌🏼

Last week, the @globalfashionagenda released an update of its 'Pulse Of The Fashion Industry' - an annual assessment of the fashion industry's environmental and social performance measured by a 'pulse score'. It reveals that progress within sustainability has slowed down by a third in the past year, which is alarming considering that the projected growth of the fashion industry is expected to reach 81% by 2030 - to 102 million tonnes of clothing in volume ‼️ From policy makers, designers and NGO's to the media and consumers - the report emphasizes on collaboration across the value chain in order to accelerate change. Existing technologies and innovative solutions need to be scaled and harnessed by brands that have what it takes in order to drive large-scale impact. While, the 40% of companies that haven't made any progress on the Pulse Curve need to stop waiting for their customers to demand it, and need to be proactive enough in rethinking the foundations of their business. #fashion #sustainability #ecofriendly #sustainable #environment #conscious #luxury #streetwear #natural #organic #vegan #recycled #plasticwaste #fastfashion #lifestyle #ootd #share

Sustainable Sneaks ✨👟I’m not much of a sneaker head myself, but have really started to appreciate the efforts of this industry in (literally) curbing their carbon footprint. Last month, @adidas revealed their latest innovation - the first fully recyclable performance running shoe that never needs to be thrown away - setting a new benchmark for circularity! I’ve also only recently become aware of @veja - a socially conscious luxury brand known for its ‘green’ sneakers made of organic cotton, recycled polyester, vegan suede and more. @allbirds claims to provide “the world’s most comfortable shoes” made with natural materials such as merino wool, eucalyptus tree fibre, sugar cane and more. @rothys is also dedicated to creating chic women’s shoes that are created with as little waste as possible. Apart from having washable sneakers made out of recycled plastic, what i love is their transparency on the website! From materials and packaging to their headquarters, they clearly state their efforts and environmental impact. As @bof highlighted, the success behind these three brands doesn’t purely lie with having sustainability as a selling point, but moreover the appealing designs, comfort and price points - because let’s be honest, style and price are the two primary buying factors amongst the mass market, while quality is (unfortunately) secondary. These brands have cracked the formula and proved that it is possible to have the best of both worlds, and the opportunities are truly endless! Hope to own a pair of one of these gems very soon :-) #fashion #sustainability #ecofriendly #sneakers #sustainableshoes #environment #conscious #luxury #streetwear #natural #organic #vegan #recycled #plasticwaste #adidas #vejas #allbirds #rothys #lifestyle
