Fashion's Green Revolution Apparel Industry's Top Eco Secrets
Eco-Friendly Materials and Practices
One of the most significant changes in sustainable fashion is the use of eco-friendly materials. Organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Tencel are just a few examples of fabrics that minimize environmental impact. Organic cotton, for instance, uses 91% less water than conventional cotton and avoids harmful pesticides, making it a more sustainable choice1. Recycled polyester, made from plastic bottles, reduces waste and energy consumption, while Tencel, derived from wood pulp, is biodegradable and produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents2.
