Undoubtedly fashion is one of the fastest growing industries nowadays, but it has downsides, polluting your social and environmental surroundings. However, sustainable fashion is a new approach to creating fashionable clothes that provide a safe and healthy environment.
Let’s get into depth to understand why sustainable fashion is important:
Save animals
It is believed that every year millions of animals are killed to create fashion items. Leather bags, shoes, belts, or furs are all by-products of the meat industry.
However, it holds no truth. Sustainable brands do not believe in animal killing and use other alternatives, such as making fabric from the leaves of pineapple or creating bags from recycled seat belts, to save animals from cruelty.
Use less water
The fashion industry needs water at every single step. From drying to manufacturing and washing to finishing, water is required in great amounts. Additionally, all the chemicals used in creating clothes are thrown into water bodies.
Sustainable fashion produces materials that require less water and help recycle water used for production. With no use of chemicals, this type of fashion saves water from pollution.
Safe working environment
Nowadays, fashion houses provide a tough-working environment where harsh chemicals are used in producing clothes, creating permanent health problems among workers, especially children. Moreover, wages are not enough to meet two ends.
However, sustainable fashion brands create a conducive working environment for workers, Providing fair wages and a safe environment for the laborers. Workers experience less work pressure and are treated with respect.
