As we approach Black Friday, it’s crucial to reflect on the darker side of this shopping frenzy—textile waste and pollution.😱 The fashion industry is a major contributor to environmental damage, with estimates showing it accounts for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every year, millions of tons of textile waste end up in landfills, and the demand for "fast fashion" only intensifies the problem. As consumers, we can make a difference by choosing to buy less, supporting sustainable brands, and embracing the principles of reuse and upcycling. Let’s prioritise the planet and make conscious choices for you and your environment🌍 #SustainableFashion #TextileWaste #BlackFriday #CircularEconomy

80% of products bought on Black Friday end up in landfills, incinerators, or poor recycling streams. Clothing makes up 41% of all Black Friday spending, so it’s clear that fashion needs change. 👕 With the linear ‘take, make, waste’ business model, brands rely on high-volume production and sales to drive profit. Meanwhile, consumers buy more than they need and lack responsible ways to part with clothes. But the future of fashion doesn’t have to be built on overproduction and waste. By embracing circular solutions, brands can thrive without relying on excess, and consumers can invest in wardrobes filled with intention and lasting value. Both brands and consumers can do more with less, through a circular fashion economy. Now that’s a deal worth saying yes to!

🌍 Rethinking #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday: From #Overconsumption to #Circular Opportunities 🌍 Black Friday and Cyber Monday remain iconic retail moments, but their environmental costs are undeniable. According to Adobe Analytics, consumers spent $22 billion online during Black Friday weekend, with an additional $9 billion on Cyber Monday. However, the fashion industry, responsible for 2% to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consuming 215 trillion liters of water annually, continues to face mounting scrutiny for its environmental toll. In her The Business of Fashion article “Consumers Showed Up on Black Friday Ready to Shop”, Malique Morris revealed how brands navigated deep discounts to meet consumer demands, with online shopping increasing by 8% year-over-year. Efforts to combat overconsumption are gaining traction globally. As reported in UNEP-WCMC’s Textile Initiative, designers at #Eco Fashion Week Africa showcased upcycled fashion, turning tablecloths into trousers and curtains into jackets. Spanish brand ECOALF took a stand against Black Friday by releasing a #documentary on Chile’s Atacama Desert, a shocking reminder of the waste caused by fast fashion. As Ecoalf CMO Alvarez-Ossorio Carolina said: "What does a ‘good deal’ really mean when it comes at the expense of the planet and vulnerable communities?" In Vogue Business’ article by Bella Webb, initiatives like Vestiaire Collective’s collaboration with The Or Foundation were highlighted for promoting upcycling and resale. Elizabeth (Liz) Ricketts, co-founder of The Or Foundation, emphasized: "The overconsumption habits that drive Black Friday are pervasive year-round, fueled by brands." Meanwhile, VEJA’s Repair Friday, featured in Vogue Business, saw the French trainer brand offer free repairs across product categories, reinforcing circularity’s growing appeal. Veja co-founder SEBASTIEN KOPP shared: "Sometimes, just cleaning the shoes can make people fall in love again, and that’s exactly what we’re trying to achieve." As consumer preferences shift, CIRQUEL’s mission stands for: ✅ Localized Circularity ✅ Revenue from Returns ✅ Post-Holiday Solutions As Elisa Tonda, Chief of Resources and Markets Branch at UNEP, noted: "The fashion industry has huge power to encourage solutions for lower environmental impact, supporting reuse, upcycling, repairs, and rental." A big thank you to Beam and BEUMER Group for championing our journey toward circular solutions. 💡 Join the Circular Revolution Visit our website to read the full blog post and discover how CIRQUEL is redefining the lifecycle of fashion. https://lnkd.in/ddNUfpPa Anna Warchalowska June Arrieta Jesper Bang-Olsen #CircularEconomy #SustainableFashion #BlackFriday #Overconsumption #Ecoalf #VestiaireCollective #UNEP #VogueBusiness #ResaleRevolution #Beam #BeumerGroup #FashionCircularity
