Excited to announce that i’ve joined GarbageCAN!; a sustainable waste management company based in Karachi to work on solutions around making this city more environmentally friendly 🌿 . Here, 13,000 tonnes of solid waste is generated everyday and bureaucratic hurdles, lack of urban planning and inadequate waste management equipment only make it more difficult. Looking forward to spreading awareness, working with stakeholders & much more 🤞🏼 . #karachi #pakistan #environment #climatechange #ecofriendly #sustainability #lifestyle #trash #zerowaste #pollution #clean #work
Furget about it 👋🏼 . In my last article for @luxiders_magazine, we asked @fash_rev what they think is more sustainable between real fur vs faux fur, and they said “whilst not buying real fur has obvious benefits for animal welfare and our planet’s health, faux fur isn’t necessarily a better option or the answer to the problem. Faux fur is traditionally made from plastic-based fibres such as polyester which takes hundreds of years to decompose, and releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibres in a typical wash.” ‼️ . So, like @drchristinadean from @getredressed stresses - “if people really want to wear fur, the most sustainable approach would be to purchase secondhand or vintage above new real / faux”, and we don’t disagree! That’s one of the reasons why i didn’t / wouldn’t buy this fur jacket, even though it’s made of deadstock faux fur from a sustainable brand like @reformation (which is pretty darn cool 👏🏼). I truly admire their efforts, but it would be interesting to see whether they’re able to incorporate a model whereby customers can rent or return their preloved ref garments in the future 🤔 #fashion #sustainability #sustainablefashion #fur #realorfake #climatechange #environment #luxury #style #shopping #eco #newyork #lifestyle #change #consciousconsumption
Fabric dyeing uses 5 trillion liters of water a year and 8,000 chemicals in the process, and accounts for 20% of global water pollution. When textile mills dump synthetic, non-biodegradable dyes into nearby freshwater sources, rivers turn unnatural shades of red and blue - a huge environmental + social challenge as it's also linked to cancer rates & skin diseases. What are some of the ways that factories and retailers can combat this? . At eco-factories that I visited in Sri Lanka, leftover water from dyeing plants is collected, pumped into tanks, filtered, cleaned and reused for irrigation, which not only makes the process circular, but also gives back to local communities. Some opt to use natural dyes, but “just because dyes are natural does not mean that they are organically harvested. Pesticides and herbicides may have been used on the crop or perhaps the crop itself may be genetically modified,” as @globalorganictextilestandard mentions in our interview for @luxiders_magazine. . Dyes from @archromagroup, a Switzerland-based company, creates colors from agricultural waste with a water-efficient process that uses less than 10% of water required for conventional dyeing processes. So, the most sustainable option for brands would be to continue exploring and using safer dyes, preferably those evaluated and approved by a credible program. Additionally, they should be transparent about it so that consumers can make informed decisions. . #fashion #sustainablefashion #sustainability #climatechange #pollution #ecofriendly #clothes #igers
Did you know that 90% of the cotton we wear is genetically modified? Cotton production is responsible for 18% of worldwide pesticide use and 25% of total insecticide use - making it the dirtiest crop as well as the thirstiest, since it takes more than 500 gallons of water to produce one cotton T-shirt. 💦 However, over 30 of the world’s most renowned clothing companies, including @hm, @burberry, @adidas, @nike and more have pledged to use 100% sustainable cotton by 2025. According to the @globalorganictextilestandard, organic cotton allows retailers to make a verifiable sustainability claim for their textile products, as consumers buying-decisions are becoming increasingly influenced by the environmental and social footprint a product has. 🌎 . But as @drchristinadean from @getredressed stresses, “we need to be more aggressive in our expectations of the fashion industry and move away from "less bad" being an acceptable achievement and we must instead focus on how we can make fashion good". 💯 #fashion #sustainablefashion #sustainability #climatechange #cotton #style #fastfashion #ethical #ecofriendly #organic #hkig
