<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the\nmain questions when discussing sustainability in the apparel manufacturing\nindustry is how to make processes more sustainable without increasing prices. Therefore,\nan important task is to find ways your brand can start its\ntransformation towards sustainability in an affordable way<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, Is this\nrealistically achievable? And the answer is yes. Many companies are already\nworking to develop processes that use fewer resources and generate less waste,\namong other initiatives, and we are one of them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fashion\nindustry’s environmental footprint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything\nrelated to climate change is urgent, and one of the first actions to do is to\ncalculate your brand’s carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, in 2019, the fashion industry was\nresponsible for generating 8 \u2013 10% of global carbon emissions. As the report\ndescribed it, this would be the volume of emissions that produce Russia to\ncompare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fashion\nIndustry Charter for Climate Action, signed in 2018, and the Fashion Pact,\nsigned in 2019, are two examples of these commitments. Among the many\nagreements stated, it is the commitment for the industry to reach a 30%\nGHG emission reduction by 2030<\/strong> and a commitment to analyze and\nestablish a decarbonization pathway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though\nmany of the most well-known fashion brands and suppliers signed both\nagreements, recent reports show that efforts to reduce emissions are not\nenough. The industry still has a long way to achieve the goal, and time is\nrunning out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands need\nto be aware of how urgent it is to take action to fight climate change. And\nthis will come when we can change the mindset that where sustainability equals\na reduction in profit or no profit at all. It is possible to manufacture more\nsustainable products and reduce the carbon footprint without involving a higher\nprice for customers. And one of the key points to make it is to have the right\npartner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What strategies\ndo you have to reduce the carbon footprint of your fashion brand?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are\nmany strategies that can be developed, such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The adoption of new technologies<\/strong> such as\nlow-carbon technology, automation, virtualization, and smart infrastructure has\na direct impact on the reduction of the energy usage of a company, which leads\nto fewer emissions released in the atmosphere. \n<\/li> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
  • By\nimproving energy efficiency<\/strong>,\ncompanies can reduce the amount of energy that is being used in different processes. Changing to renewable energy sources <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Improving processes<\/strong>. Many of the green gases are released during energy-intense processes used in clothing manufacturing. Hence, rethinking the\nway those processes are created to find more sustainable alternatives is key in order to reduce carbon emissions <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Constant training<\/strong>. Educate, train and involve employees so they\ncan get to know the new processes, generate less waste, and even support them\nto adopt greener commutes to work. For companies, it is highly important that climate\naction is seen as a common goal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Offsetting \u2013 compensate emissions. <\/strong>Compensation is another\nmechanism used by companies. Through this process, companies invest in projects\nthat prevent or reduce the release of Greenhouse Gas into the atmosphere. In\nthis way, companies are offsetting the emissions released in their production\nstages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
