Sustainable Fashion, Greenpeace’s dossier states it must not rule out recycling of clothing

 

Slow, concentric and low impact, the three maneuvers for a sustainable and functional fashion on the planet. But is it really possible a sustainable fashion? Just started the fashion week in Milan, Greenpeace announced its report that there would be solutions and best practices already available to make fashion more clean and more sustainable than an affectionate chimera. What remains a challenge today is the recycling of clothes but still remains a difficult idea to realize.

According to Greenpeace itself, a slow fashion would be needed that requires ethical and social compromises, but above all on an environmental level that goes far beyond the fast fashion that leads to excessive consumption of clothing with high environmental impact.

In most cases it is not exceptions but rules, just think that this is the fate of at least 80% of the everyday garments that are no longer used and no longer trendy, end up being quickly discarded in the forgetting first and then in the trash can.

This is to say that there is a general lack of green investment in the green investment that can develop technologies capable of re-adapting natural and synthetic fibers and thus recycling garments and clothing.

Greenpeace confirms today that polyester recycling in the fashion industry has little to do with fashion, in fact, in fact, they know that this is the same as for PET plastic bottles. With its Fashion at the Crossroads report, Greenpeace, the global leader in environmental protection of the planet, clearly and evidently underscores all the shortcomings and shortages of a system, the textile industry and therefore of the major brands, unable to substantially understand the its shortage of prospects for a future geared to sustainability and providing space protection.

In addition to this, however, it also follows a positive note, especially under the voice of the Detox detox campaign, carried out by Greenpeace, which involved more than 80 internationally recognized brands in the fashion industry, including 50 productions made in Italy.

In short the road is all up, but at least the bases for it seem to have been traced.
