So how can individuals actually make a difference?
Ultimately, it’s not our fault as individuals that the global fashion industry is in this mess. But it is within our power as consumers to think more about our purchases.
We all have to wear clothes, and they need to be affordable for everyone. But there is a better way.
Firstly, we can hold companies accountable for their promises. For example, the UK’s Green Claims Code might offer a way to call out companies that promise “green” collections or “recycled” garments.
Secondly, we can join campaigns that scrutinise fashion companies’ environmental and labour rights practices – such as Fashion Revolution or Labour Behind the Label.
Third, you can DIY with Recycled Yarns
Fourth, you can Recycle your gently used Clothes
Fifth, you can Donate gently loved Clothes
