What is Circular Fashion?
Circular fashion is an approach that states that changing our “take-make-waste” continuous and fast consumption-based daily habits, even at the level of our wardrobe, will create many positive environmental effects.
Circular fashion follows the principles of a circular economy, where products are designed with their end-of-life in mind. Instead of the traditional linear model of production (make, use, dispose), circular fashion encourages a continuous loop of usage through strategies such as recycling, upcycling, repairing, and repurposing garments. By extending the life of clothing and keeping materials in circulation, the industry can significantly reduce its environmental footprint.
Key components of circular fashion include:
- Designing for longevity.
- Using sustainable materials.
- Reducing waste through recycling.
Circular Fashion: 8 Ways To Make Your Style Sustainable
1. Meet sustainable brands
2. Always put quality over quantity. You buy less but buy better!
3. Are you sure? Do you need to buy something new? You should revise your wardrobe before going shopping.
4. Give your clothes the care they deserve. Suppose you want your clothes long-lasting till they become genuinely worn out. In that case, there are many things you can pay attention to, from washing in cold water and not more often than necessary to use the appropriate detergent.
5. Will you throw away that used clothing? How about recycling? You can recycle your old clothes that have become worn out. Also, you can donate or give away clothes that you desire or no longer want to wear.
6. If you are going to buy something new, prioritize sustainable materials
7. Donate clothes to the ones in need.
8. That’s it! Our last piece of advice is to spread what you know about the benefits of circular fashion. Sustainability in fashion will grow as we share ideas and solutions to act together!
What Are The Benefits of Circular Fashion?
1. Reduction of Waste
One of the most significant advantages of circular fashion is the drastic reduction of waste. By designing products that can be easily disposed of and repurposed, fewer items end up in landfills. It curtails the environmental damage caused by textile waste, such as the release of harmful greenhouse gases during decomposition.
2. Conservation of Resources
Circular fashion emphasizes the preservation and efficient use of resources. Garments are made with durable and high-quality materials, encouraging longevity and reducing the frequency of replacements. Additionally, through recycling and upcycling, existing materials are given a new lease on life, lessening the demand for virgin resources.
3. Lowered Carbon Footprint
By minimizing the need for new materials and reducing waste, circular fashion inherently contributes to lowering the industry’s carbon footprint. The energy-intensive processes associated with virgin material production are significantly diminished, aligning with climate goals and sustainability targets.
4. Promotion of Sustainable Lifestyles
Circular fashion promotes a shift in consumer behavior by encouraging mindful consumption. Consumers are encouraged to value and care for their garments, repair and alter them, and ultimately extend their lifecycle. It fosters a culture of sustainability and responsible consumption, which is vital in the fight against climate change.
