Fashion is a large contributor to climate change. Greenhouse gas is being emitted throughout the fashion value chain, from raw materials and production to the use and disposal of textiles. If the industry stays on its current trajectory, emissions from textile production will rise by more than 60% by 2030, according to experts.

 More than half of the fast fashion produced is disposed of in under a year and the environmental damage is accelerating as the industry grows. To reduce the many problems and transform the fashion industry, the supply chain will have to evolve, but it begins with building awareness and  willingness to change.

Fashion Accessories

Accessory production and packaging are similar to garment manufacturing, both carry environmentally harmful and toxic chemicals such as cadmium, lead and nickel. Independent research shows that chemicals found in fashion jewelry have serious potential health risks associated. In addition, the lack of transparency and complexity of the global supply chain makes the shift to sustainable production challenging.

The poor quality of fast fashion accessories becomes cheap and disposable, rarely recyclable, and ultimately ends up in landfill or incinerated. Current global supply chain to produce these items cause environmental problems like habitat destruction, greenhouse gas emissions, and often unfair working conditions for its employees.

What does Carbon Neutral mean?
