It took several years the growth within each of the looks. I wanted to create a series that I can build on. The movement of sustainability isn’t the flip of switch. It’s a progress, I want to show love the the brands that have been on my radars. For years I have been following Broken Planet it’s more 2years. The put it best it’s a progression it’s about how you source the clothing it’s not just the aesthetics.
Below are a few REAL DATA FACTS from the sustainable part of the Broken Planet website here.
LATELY, SUSTAINABILITY HAS BEEN USED AS A BUZZWORD TO GUILT-TRIP AND CONVINCE PEOPLE TO BUY THEIR GREEN PRODUCTS, BUT TO US, SUSTAINABILITY IS ABOUT CREATING A REAL IMPACT INSTEAD OF USING IT AS A MARKETING STRATEGY.
WE STRIVE TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, NOT TAKE CHEAP SHORTCUTS, AND PRODUCE PIECES MADE ETHICALLY, EVEN IF THE PROCESS TAKES LONGER.
FOR INSTANCE, 20% OF INDUSTRIAL WATER POLLUTION COMES FROM TEXTILE TREATMENTS AND DYES, WHICH USE OVER 800 CHEMICALS THAT FACTORY WORKERS BREATHE IN.
FOR THESE REASONS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO ONLY USE THE MORE SUSTAINABLE GOTS (GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD) CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON OR RECYCLED COTTON.
THE QUALITY OF RECYCLED POLYESTER IS JUST AS GOOD AS VIRGIN POLYESTER WHILE REQUIRING 70% LESS ENERGY TO PRODUCE AND 54% FEWER CARBON EMISSIONS
OUR SUNGLASSES ARE MADE FROM 100% RECYCLED POLYESTER
WE SPECIFICALLY VET OUR FACTORIES TO ENSURE NO CHILD LABOUR, BONDED LABOUR, OR PRECARIOUS EMPLOYMENT IS REPORTED.
OUR ORGANIC COTTON IS GROWN IN VIETNAM AND OUR RECYCLED FABRICS ARE PRODUCED IN CHINA, WHERE THE MATERIALS WERE INITIALLY RECYCLED AND PROCESSED
