These days, millions of people consider buying jute fashionable products. The reasons are clear. First, jute can make perfect fashion apparels like bags, purses, or even some furnishing products. Second, jute is environmentally friendly, that utilizing jute as fashion or home apparel products will not cause any damage to the environment. This is the major concern of Top Trans Jute. As the leading jute bags manufacturer, we pay attention dearly to both the eco-friendly products and customer satisfaction. We understand that jute becomes the most wanted products that are not only recyclable, but also durable. The use of jute bags can avoid the usage of plastic bags, which can add up the pile of unrecyclable garbages. Many people ask about the eco-friendly 'level' of jute bags, as compared to other kinds of products from the natural resources like rattan or bamboo. It is easy to explain that jute is much easier in production. It is very simple to grow jute, because it doesn't require a series of complicated maintenance, while it only uses a very little amount--or even none--pesticide. While our company makes the most of the plant, wood companies use its rute, as the best replacement of wood. It means, there is a high possibility of reducing the deforestation effort, especially from most Asian rain
Consumer behavior: Merely focusing on material section would help us attain sustainability, we need a more holistic strategy which comprises of not just the way fashion is being created; but the way it is being consumed as well. Using environment-friendly material, using conservational energy sources, community laundry, using waterless washing machines etc. are some of the practices which can be taken up.
A) It has been successfully utilized to make a thousands of diverse, environmentally friendly products like textiles, paper, oil, rope and canvas.
When I was in middle school, my school host an event called "Environmental Protection Clothes: Do It Yourself Competition. " I was extremely keen on the topic, so I participated in the occasion twice. The rule was simple that the clothes must be designed by yourself and the materials utilized must be some environmentally friendly material or the clothes you would never wear it later on. At the very beginning, I believed that I cannot find any useful materials in the home. When I searched the internet to find designed clothes from former students, this is the first time I knew there are so many elements that always ignored and do not see useful in my life.
Fashion is everything to society and the media. The fashion industry has transformed into a necessity in the life of people. Everyone wants to look good, feel fabulous and feel as if we belong with everyone else. The envy and desire to wear certain things and look a certain way all come, from wearing the latest fashion handbags, accessories, dresses, shoes, and the list goes on. But, when is considering fashion into an individual’s life going too far to the extreme? Many do not consider the whereabouts of fashion materials and how the environment is affected by the mere existence of certain garments. Some may believe these objects grow on trees. But that is clearly not the case. Even though it would be nice. The fashion industry as a whole, has been notorious from green issues caused by their lack of sensitivity to the environment, conspicuous and unnecessary consumption of materials, encouraging an “throw-away” society and image issues that support women and young adults to look a certain way to feel “beautiful.” This is an issue that has increased over the past decades. Not just women, but men also feel the uncontrollable need to do whatever it takes to look like the celebrities they see on television and on the runways. The thought that the materials to make those desired items may have caused the life of animals or the destruction of mother nature does not come into mind. Countless people are concerned about conserving planet Earth and keeping it healthy. The fashion world has been targeted for many corruptions.
The environmental impact of making textiles and clothing is damaging to natural resources and is unsustainable. Buying a cotton shirt seems like a good choice to most consumers because its material is produced from a plant. What people don’t know is that cotton is the world’s dirtiest crop due to the heavy use of insecticides and pesticides. “Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop” (Organic Trade Association, 2011). In addition to the ground pollution from crop production, coal burning factories and textile mills leach chemicals into the air and water. As Leonard (2007) discusses, the factories being built overseas not only pollute their water, land, and air but pollution also ends up coming back in water and wind currents. Water is contaminated with countless toxic chemicals and used in excess to grow and produce textiles for clothing production. A great example of this abundant waste is that one t-shirt requires 2,700 litres of water to produce. Fast fashion is damaging the environment on a global scale and that is just the beginning of this flawed system.
First of all, the production of a T-shirt can influence a variable of angle of environment. For instance, according to the investigation of the World Bank 17% to 20% of industrial water pollution is due to textile dyeing and treatment. Moreover, the production process of fast fashion can lead to air pollution because reusing cotton prevents the emission of more than 7 pounds of carbon dioxide. (Steinberger,2009) With more and more evidences proved that the production process of fast fashion, either governments or Non-Governmental Organization will devote more efforts to aware human beings the serious results and try to find a balance between economy and
In today’s world, “the U.S. manages to produce a quarter of the world’s waste despite the fact that its population of 300 million is less than 5% of the world’s population, according to 2005 estimates (Malone).” In other words, countries like China and India, which represent 37 percent of the world’s population combined, produce less waste than the United States alone. Many people believe that just by throwing away trash in each correct bin will help the recycling process. Almost every city in Los Angeles County has a different trash bin for different usage i.e. greenery, plastic, and cardboard. These trash bins are extremely effective when it comes to recycling plastic, however what happens after the bin has been collected is more important.
Sustainable manufacturing requires the green fashion knowledge from consumers to make it work. Green fashion knowledge is, “Environmental attitude models or consumers’ perception and beliefs on green products”. (Cervellon & Wernerfelt, 2012, p. 178) This is crucial because it raises awareness for consumer for the environment and hence promote the importance of green and sustainable textile manufacturing. But consumers often get the wrong idea and clarity of the true meaning behind it, “Consumers seem to doubt the existence of sustainable production processes, especially in the fashion industry where manufacturing is often outsourced to emerging countries” (Cervellon & Wernerfelt, 2012, p.178) Consumers often believed that sustainable manufacturing is only practiced by a minimal amount of manufacturers, so the concern for sustainable fashion is often neglected. On the other hand, the image of green fashion is often related to dull and not in style, so the majority of people will prefer fast fashion that is trendy, up to date and cheap. To promote the benefits of green fashion, it will take time to educate consumers and transfer knowledge to them. In a study performed by Marie-Ce ́cile Cervellon and Anne-Sophie
It is certain that people are getting more used to wasting products that are still reliable to use and, especially in fashion, not that many people are aware of the concept of sustainability. Although concept of recycling paper, plastic and glass has now spread a cross the states, people still doesn’t know how to recycle or reuse their clothing. “65 pounds of clothing and textiles a year are improperly discarded and only an eight of that goes to charities for reuse [1].” This indicates how unaware people are when it comes to taking care of their garments. Or rather, the way in which fast fashion industry promotes the value of cloth is very low, and it is because the fashion industry wants people to get rid of their clothing as soon as possible in order to sell their new colle...
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American family spends $1,700 on clothes annually and “the average woman in England has 22 unworn items in her closet.”(Johnson) People buy a surplus of clothing, meaning factories make excess textile waste. While there have been many debates whether the clothing industry is the second most polluting industry of the world, second only to oil, there’s no doubt that the fashion industry has made an impact on the world, but not in a good
Millions of plastic bags are given out to consumers by supermarkets and stores to carry their goods in. They are also cheap, light, durable, easy to carry and in many cases, free. The most commonly used shopping bag is made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This type is used in the majority of supermarkets and stores. After these bags are used, they often end up in landfills or as litter, roughly only three percent of plastic bags is actually recycled per year (Planet Ark, 2011). The materials used in making plastic bags make them non-biodegradable. According to the science dictionary, 2011 refers to “these materials cannot be decomposed into environmentally safe waste materials by the action of soil bacteria.” These harmful substances are toxic and take approximately four hundred years to break down, or in this case photo-degrade; which is how plastics made from (HDPE) break down. Since they are not biodegradable, they remain in the environment and are absorbed in soil or water (Indian Centre for Plastics in the Environment, 2010). This essay will discuss the various harmful effects of plastic bags, and demonstrate the risks that these bags impose on humans, animals and the environment. It will also discuss a series of suggested solutions that could help reduce plastic bag usage.
Many people think fashion is just all about design or the clothing that you wear. In fact, the definition is “a popular way of dressing during a particular time or among a particular group of people” (Fashion). Well personally, I think that have got it wrong, and there are many more things about fashion that people do not realize. Consumerism and consumption play a huge role on what fashion is today and what goes into it, and not just about design or designers, but also socially and environmentally. Consumerism and consumption impact the social and environmental aspect of the fashion industry because of what people buy, why they buy things, what type of things they look for in terms of quality or brand, and also where they go to shop.
Under the agreement, Kimberly- Clark ensures that 100 percent of the fiber which is used in the products will be from environmentally responsible sources. It will increase use of recycled fiber. This will help reduce the destruction of our forests.
In conclusion, the research has realized that sustainable fashion is among the developing project perspective and movement of sustainability. The project has the main goal of establishing an arrangement, which can be continued for the foreseeable future in terms of conservationism and social liability. It was noted that all the products made are developed with much consideration to the environmental and social influence all through its overall lifetime encompassing its carbon imprint. The research went further in discussing some components of sustainable fashion including fibre, which includes the employment of ecologically friendly resources such as bamboo, organic carbon as well as hemp. Accordingly, some benefits were provided to show how vital sustainable fashion is to the producer, consumer, and to the environment. However, despite all these, there are some challenges that
That can lead to the water stress and pollution. Cotton is one of the common natural fibers and it is also a thirsty crop, to produce one cotton shirt it takes 2,700 liters of water which is enough amount of water for one person to drink 2 ½ years (3p Contributor., 2015). The chemical wastages from chemical dye and bleaches that produce from the factory, and carbon footprint such as polyester production which can lead to climate change. Given that amount of water wastage, I feel that people should opt for sustainable fashion clothes. Most people may be hesitant to try something so novel, so green. Therefore, I feel the fashion house should educate the public about the many benefits of sustainable fashion
