Outlining three sustainable principles, including crowdsourcing designs and…

Didn’t we just get finished proving recycling does almost nothing and less than 10% of the things you recycle actually end up recycled? It just feels like this premise was flawed from the start.
@Yuusou.
November 11, 2024 at 11:41 am
The actual problem is not that recycling doesn’t work, but that producers put materials together that could be recycled individually, but become a nightmare to recycle together because there is no single way to separate the materials properly. You even have different types of plastic (bottle and cap) which can’t be recycled together and the EU mandated that the caps should not be removable anymore. They turned the waste issue of caps lying around nature into a recycling issue.

Fashion, by its nature, is inherently wasteful. It is about obtaing this season’s most desirable item, so that individual articles become single use. Until consumerism changes, the waste will continue mostly unabated for there is too much money to be made by maintaining the status quo

I hate that fabric is now such low quality that it only lasts a few years max before it breaks. I have a few shirts still from more then 20 years ago that don’t wear out. I would like for the west to put quality control on clothes sold in stores. The easiest way to reduce the waste is to make better products!

@MWhaleK unfortunately often more expensive clothing has the same problem. I bought trousers that got holes within 5 wears. It was from a rather expensive shop and 2-3 time more then I would normally pay.

@andrej2375 I’ve had clothes that only lasted a few washes, that was infuriating. It’s the quality of the product. Constantly second guessing how long something might last when you buy it is stressful.

I think more of this work needs to be done to show how and where recycling can benefit the companies/individuals producing it. After all, without strong incentives, companies won’t change their practices.

This is the light that should indicate to us that the planet resources are also limited, and one may be exhausted leaving to us mountain of trash originated on the fulfilments of personal vanities without taking in account the needs of our planet that is being criminally exploited by the idea of luxury or uniqueness regardless of our and ours children futures.
Thank you so much for such a brilliant mind opener talk.

To an extent. But if you want people to switch to less wasteful products, getting people to _want_ those less wasteful products is pretty fundamental.

I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
people who panic.

A “circular fashion” sub-brand that turns waste into treasure or Coach’s latest marketing spin to convince guilt-ridden shoppers that buying yet another bag will “save the planet”? Instead of addressing why we need these bags in the first place, Coachtopia simply gives Coach more products to sell and more demographics to sell to. With every imperfect, made-from-scrap Coachtopia bag sold to eco-conscious, price-sensitive and next-generation buyers, the original Coach brand edges even closer to luxury elitism—selling “perfect” bags at an even higher price. Circular economy? More like circular marketing, where “waste” becomes just another tool to keep consumers buying, with every last cent of “waste” extracted before it heads to the landfill.

IV. Below some short findings regarding waste in the fashion industry.
Due to raw material extraction, long supply chains and energy-intensive production, the fashion industry is responsible for 2 to 8 per cent of global carbon emissions (for context, the shipping and aviation industry combined account for about 5 per cent of global emissions).
Significant efforts are underway to reduce the fashion industry’s pollution – including through the UN-backed Fashion Charter – but greenwashing remains a challenge. A recent report found that 60 per cent of sustainability claims by European fashion giants are “unsubstantiated” and “misleading.” This has resulted in confusion for consumers and growing mistrust of what is and is not sustainable.
But with one of the most influential marketing engines on Earth, the fashion industry has the potential to drive positive change and be a leader towards a more sustainable future, through both action and communications. The Sustainable Fashion Communication Playbook is a guide for fashion communicators – marketers, brand managers, imagemakers, media, influencers and beyond – to help counter greenwashing and advance progress towards the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.
