- What challenges do you face switching from synthetics to low impact, regenerative fibres and material?
70% of the footprint of fashion products are at the material stage - shifting to low impact regenerative and recycled fibres and fabrics is essential.
The industry is propped up by fossil fuels which are responsible for 89% of global GHG emissions. Two thirds of fibres and materials are produced with fossil fuels as are the dyes used to colour, print and finish them.
Fashion need to cut overall production and switch to low impact, natural materials produced through the principles of regenerative organic agriculture, favouring small scale and local producers.
