Interesting article reflecting on the 2024 priorities in sustainability in fashion. All seems urgent and important! 🤪 The big takeaway for me is a more specific regulatory landscape and hopefully a more unified perspective at EU level and not at single country level.

** Fashion’s New Sustainability Rules for 2024 ** Long report… however what perhaps nails it as an Exec summary for SELF REGULATION, this is what ‘success’ looks like… Quoting directly from this article: “Waste management: Less than 1 percent of fashion textiles are recycled and a truckload of products are sent to landfill or incinerated somewhere in the world every second.” It will be interesting to see if these new regulations are fit for purpose. For the record, I’m an advocate for a ‘waste tax’ to tackle overconsumption and accelerate investment into more sustainable infrastructure. As well as clear up the waste already polluting the planet. #sustainable #fashion #sustainabilitymatters

Empowering youth-led startups, social enterprises, and social champions with mentorship, investment, and strategic guidance.
EU is leading the way in sustainability fashion regulations, as self regulation is phased out. Exporters from Pakistan should see the impact of this in their supply chains today. "Product design: Up to 80 percent of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design phase and is baked into materials and dyes. The EU’s flagship Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), set to come into full effect by 2025, sets minimum design standards for all individual products sold within the EU. This includes requirements around recyclability, durability, reusability, repairability and use of hazardous substances. Digital product passports that collect and share this information with consumers are expected to become required by law." #fastfashion #sustainability #circularity #circularfashion #wastemanagement #landfills #esgreporting #greenwashing #emissionreduction

As a representative of Ethik Brands, a factory dedicated to authentic and impactful sustainability practices, I want to address the pervasive issue of greenwashing in the fashion industry highlighted in the recent LinkedIn post. Greenwashing, where brands falsely portray their products as environmentally friendly, indeed breeds consumer confusion and frustration. It’s disheartening that terms like "eco-friendly," "sustainable," and "vegan leather" have become marketing buzzwords, often devoid of real environmental benefit. As noted, the existence of fast fashion's "conscious collections" raises valid concerns about the ethicality of their other lines. The term "vegan leather," often merely a euphemism for plastic, further exacerbates the issue, misleading consumers about its true environmental impact. At Ethik Brands, we firmly believe that genuine sustainability should be transparent and accountable. Here’s how we strive to make a real difference: 1. Water-Saving Techniques: We’ve invested heavily in technology to significantly reduce water usage in our production processes. Unlike vague claims, our methods are measurable and verifiable. 2. Recycled Materials: Our commitment extends to using high-quality recycled materials, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. 3. Reduced Carbon Footprint: By optimizing our supply chains and leveraging renewable energy sources, we minimize our carbon emissions, providing a clear environmental benefit. 4. Certifications and Standards: We adhere to strict certifications and production standards, ensuring that our products meet rigorous environmental and ethical criteria. This is not just about ticking boxes but about truly making a positive impact. This is not easy but we stand committed to continuing to reinvest in our efforts to be better. 5. Affordable Ethical Fashion: We believe that sustainability should not come at an exorbitant cost. By integrating advanced technologies, we can offer high-quality, eco-friendly fashion at competitive prices, making sustainable choices accessible to more consumers. Consumers deserve to know the true impact of their purchases, and brands must rise to this challenge with honesty and integrity. Our mission at Ethik Brands is to simplify this process for consumers, ensuring that when they choose our products, they are genuinely contributing to a more sustainable future. People continue to shop new and fast fashion, and we need to meet them where they are in order to create real change. Brands and Creators - your choices matter, and together, we can create a fashion industry that is genuinely committed to the environment and ethical practices we know will make a difference if we all get onboard.
