We buy about 60 pieces of clothing per year and only wear each piece 7-10 times. The industry pushes us to buy more, to buy new clothes every season and for this offers fashion to extremely low prices. The costs for our clothes are paid by someone else. They are paid by the environment and the garment workers. It is past time that we need to find alternatives to the "make-buy-use-dispose" model. There is a need for business models that encourage durability, lease, repair, lending or reselling.
It is already increasingly acknowledged, even by the industry that fashion needs to apply ecological thinking. New innovative ideas are developed that refuse the growth and consumption model that still dominates fashion today. Sustainably on the whole supply chain is necessary. There are some initiatives like Circular design thinking, Upcycling, Online-marketplaces for used products, Purchasing according to need or Alternative fashion calendar, which are closing the loop!
The reality of planetary boundaries sets limits on production and consumption. Let's close the loop of textile consumption and #makesmthng #buynothing

Under the current system, less than 1% of clothing is being recycled into new clothes, representing a loss of more than $100 billion (!) worth of materials each year.
_______
The vast majority of clothing that is sent for recycling is actually turned into lower value products, like insulation, mattress stuffing and cleaning cloths that often go on to be thrown away.
_______
We need to redesign the fashion industry and radically improve recycling by transforming clothing design, collection, and reprocessing.

#todaysmantra EVERY RESOURCE HAS A POTENTIAL VALUE BEYOND ITS CURRENT USE ♻
Its about time to: .
.
rethink business models and how we create and consume products
considering the end-of-life of products already within the design phase
choosing materials suitable for bringing them back into the loop
.
#circulareconomy aims to decouple economic growth from the extraction of finit natural resources by moving away from resource-based growth to a new era of performance-based growth. The concept of #clothingrental is one of my favs to #makefashioncircular.
Pic by pioneering swedish outdoor brand @houdinisportswear who offers its leasing programm already since 2013. They also provide a repair service, are using fully biodegradable wool and wool blend fabrics and you can turn in your old Houdini clothes to their second-hand sales department Anyone here already tried to lease clothes? How did it go
#circulareconomy principle 1: Design out Waste and Pollution
___
Did you know that #waste and #pollution are largely a result of the way we #design things?
___
Waste and pollution are not accidents, but the consequences of decisions made at the design stage, where around 80% of environmental impacts are determined. By changing our mindset to view waste as a design flaw and harnessing new #materials and technologies, we can ensure that waste and pollution are not created in the first place.

Our modern cities consume over 75% of natural resources, produce over 50% of global waste and emit between 60-80% of greenhouse gases yet a number of us residing in metropolitan areas will only keep growing, with three quarters of global population predicted to live in cities by 2050.
___
Yesterday saw the launch of '#CircularEconomy in Cities’ - a suite of online resources developed together in collaboration with @arupgroup that acts as a reference point for urban policymakers. Focusing on three key urban systems - building, mobility, and products - our newly released resource suite examines ways city governments can work to enable a circular economy transition.
