some practices that both companies and consumers can do for a better future

HOW TO AVOID PRE-CONSUMER WASTE Using all of the fabric: Wasted fabric is a big issue with fast fashion. Use recyclable materials in designs: Using things like leftover fabric from other designs helps reduce waste during the production process. Use technology: From virtual samples to ironing out the details via 3D printing, technology can save unnecessary waste. HOW TO AVOID POST-CONSUMER WASTE Repurpose/Upcycle: Find ways to use a piece of clothing for another purpose, or embellish it and make it look like new. Explore textile recycling programs when it's time to dispose of your clothing. Create a capsule wardrobe: A couple of high-quality, versatile pieces can last you years. Shop at thrift stores: Purchasing second-hand, vintage pieces not only saves you money, you’re making an environmental impact too.
