Maybe you"re already down with buying pre-loved clothing, but there are other ways in which you can contribute—at your own level—to protecting the planet. In time for Earth Day, April 22, here are three other ways you can reduce your wardrobe"s impact on the environment.
Celebrated every year since 1970, Earth Day is the perfect time for citizens of 193 countries to get involved in taking action for the environment. The initiative allows them to adopt new practices, in many fields, to better protect the planet. Fashion is increasingly moving in this direction, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the whole industry—the world"s second most polluting. From upcycling to clothing repair and rental, here"s a look at some of the ways you can make your wardrobe greener.
Embracing upcycling
Upcycling isn"t just about giving a second life to unused products, but also about bringing added value to them. In just a few years, upcycling has become commonplace in the fashion industry, to the extent that many labels now offer upcycled collections. And the upcycling process can significantly reduce waste, since brands use fabric scraps, clothes destined for the garbage, or used items, to create new, ultra-fashionable pieces.First Published: Apr 22, 2022, 17:02
