Green Suggest Upcycling LTD.’s Post

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

🚨 Is Your Fashion Business Ready for Black Friday? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWrH2eWD 🗓️ Black Friday is just around the corner, but beyond the sales frenzy lies a critical issue... textile waste. 📦 Overproduction and clearance sales have created a waste crisis in the fashion industry that leads to 70% of fashion textiles in the UK ending up in landfills. There’s a more secure and sustainable way to clear out surplus stock: textile destruction. 🌍 In our latest blog, we explain how Avena’s sustainable destruction service helps retailers remanufacture and repurpose unsold stock, turning items into further life products. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to landfill or incineration, aligning with your sustainability goals and supporting a circular economy. 🤔 If you’re planning your Black Friday strategy, make sure you have a secure end of life solution in place for your garments. #Sustainability #TextileRecycling #CircularEconomy #FashionWaste #EcoFriendly #BlackFriday2024 #SustainableClearance

Black Friday shopping creates a lot of waste and pollution, with many items ending up in landfills after just a few uses.

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!
