Denim Privé’s Post

Fashion’s impact on the planet is undeniable, and without change, the industry could consume 25% of the world’s carbon budget by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum. Yet, 85% of textiles end up in landfills each year, and people keep clothing half as long as they did in 2000, despite buying 60% more. This excess has led to waste crises like the one in Chile’s Atacama Desert, where 60,000 tons of used clothing are imported annually, but only 15% are resold. The rest, often still wearable, ends up in landfills, taking up to 200 years to decompose. Burning has become the only solution, causing fires that make nearby towns uninhabitable. It’s time for the fashion industry to take responsibility—rethinking production, managing overstock, and creating real circularity solutions. 🌿 #Sustainability #CircularFashion #ClimateAction
