Fashion brands are making bold promises to reduce their plastic packaging. But reducing plastic shirts? Not so much. Over 60% of the feedstock used to make new clothing is plastic. As the Changing Market Foundation's Urska Trunk tells me that “it’s definitely greenwashing if you’re saying ‘we’ve changed the packaging for your clothes – but here is a 100 per cent plastic shirt'". With record amounts of clothing being shipped to the Global South where it is mostly landfilled or incinerated, I looked at how plastic is driving the fast fashion model. Insight also from Ken Pucker, Jules Lennon and Helen Crowley 👗♻️ https://lnkd.in/gnnWvm6c
Despite its packaging pledges, the fashion industry continues to clothe us in plastic - Sustainable Views

85% of textile waste in the landfill comes from consumers. Meet MĀDI, who is fighting this problem. We were happy to chat with the Founder of MĀDI Elizabeth Myers, as well as Marketing and Communications Manager, Marie Claire Becker. 1. Why did you start MĀDI? Elizabeth: I worked in the fashion industry in Paris and New York but left for a few years. During the pandemic, I became passionate about improving the industry and addressing waste. I noticed the massive waste and overproduction existing in fashion, but also that 85% of textile waste in landfills comes from consumers. To tackle this, we created digital IDs for clothing brands, helping them track their products post-sale and engage consumers to make it easy for them to extend the life of those products. 2. What's the problem you're solving, and your big goal? MĀDI allows clothing brands to leverage the capability of Digital IDs to make it easy for them to take control of their products post-sale and engage consumers so their products don't end up as waste. Their consumers can much more easily connect with repair services and send products to recycling or resale so they can act responsibly and brands can mitigate waste going to landfills or incineration. Our big goal is to eliminate waste in the fashion industry. On a more immediate level, we want to get more brands on board and start changing consumer behavior. We're updating our product where we can provide a report card for the brand on its ultimate product performance. Marie: I'm also behind this goal of making garments last longer. I've worked on it in different companies before and it represents for me probably the most essential part of sustainable development - it’s a key leaver of a circular fashion industry. With my experience in product development and responsible transformation, I can see how having information on garment utilization and end-of-life can help in developing more sustainable collections. 3. The biggest challenge? Elizabeth: getting brands on board and helping them understand how it can benefit them from an overall company perspective. Many people within an organisation aren't familiar with circular technology. There is a lack of communication and collaboration within companies. Marie: In my experience as a fashion designer, I see consumer behaviour is as a big challenge. It's changing towards a more sustainable mindset, but we must support the change by offering easy-to-use solutions. I recently sorted through my wardrobe, and, for example, putting some of the garments on resale was very time-consuming. As someone who wants to consume responsibly, I found it challenging to find the right solution for every garment. 4. What are you working on? This week, we'll be at Première Vision in Paris. Come and meet us from 2 to 4 July in Villepinte, Hall 6, in the Smart Creation area. We're excited to be there with all the fashion industry stakeholders.

Sustainability, Circularity, Waste Mgmt. ♻️ | DePoly, EPFL Environmental Engineer | Alumna @ BCG, EMPA, UNEP
Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference by Innovation Forum, representing DePoly and its polyester recycling capabilities. I really enjoyed the event and would now like to share my 3 major take-home messages from it. ⏩️ Eco-design is (rightfully) not just about lower climate impact. A more comprehensive eco-design involves product aspects like recyclability (ease of recycling), durability, recycled content, ecological footprint. This has to be done with technical, economic insights and customer preferences in mind. Including supply chain modifications is equally relevant with a step-by-step approach to full circularity. ⏩️ How margins are calculated matters. To allow for the development of sustainable garments that use novel, greener and more expensive fibers, margins can be calculated per collection, instead of per item. This approach removes the pressure on sustainable garments to immediately perform as good as the incumbents. ⏩️ Price per wear is not just a “girl math” trend. It is a powerful measure of the relationship of durability and upfront cost paid for clothes. In well-made garments, the bigger price tag is recuperated with longer life time (in years, not months). Price per wear ends up being much lower than if we bought a few cheaper items in the meantime. Not to mention the environmental footprint associated with the production of several vs just one item.
