This podcast episode explores the inspiring journey of Captain Jay, the founder of PoM (Peace of Mind™ ... Happy Life!), an eco-conscious fashion brand dedicated to merging sustainable practices with mindful living.

PoM challenges traditional fashion by taking a "slow fashion" approach, aiming to reduce waste and emphasize quality over quantity. With a career that spans both sailing and economic engineering, Captain Jay brings a unique perspective to the fashion industry, creating a brand that stands for more than just clothing; it represents a movement towards environmental responsibility, ethical production, and intentional consumption.

Through a lively dialogue, two journalists delve into PoM’s practices, including its commitment to fair labor, sustainable sourcing, and innovative materials like algae and mycelium. These biomaterials offer promising alternatives to traditional textiles, minimizing environmental impact while bringing new possibilities to sustainable fashion.

PoM also focuses on transparency, aiming for a fully audited supply chain by December 2, 2025, aligning with the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. The print-on-demand model employed by PoM further reduces waste by creating products only when ordered, helping to address the staggering levels of waste generated by the fashion industry.

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in a meaningful conversation about the broader implications of sustainable fashion, the complexities of global supply chains, and how PoM is spearheading a shift in consumer consciousness.

Listeners are encouraged to consider their own impact on the environment and the importance of supporting brands like PoM, which prioritize ethics and mindfulness. This is more than just fashion – it’s about redefining our relationship with what we wear, reducing waste, and creating a happier, healthier planet for all.

Tune in for insights, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on the role of fashion in our lives!

Welcome to this new Podcast episode we delve into the transformative journey of denim—from its origins in cotton fields to its potential future in sustainability.

Inspired by the article, "The Denim Dilemma: Can Our Favorite Fabric Escape Its Unsustainable Past" (read here: https://www.pomshop.nl/denim_dilemma ) , this conversation unpacks the environmental toll of traditional denim production and celebrates innovative efforts in recycling and upcycling to redefine its impact.

Denim, the fabric synonymous with rugged individualism and timeless style, harbors a dark secret. Its production, from cotton fields to finishing mills, leaves an alarming trail of environmental and social damage. 

The environmental cost of a single pair of jeans is staggering. Cotton cultivation, the backbone of denim, demands immense water resources, guzzling up to 20,000 liters per kilogram. This thirst drains precious water reserves, particularly in regions grappling with scarcity. Furthermore, pesticides and fertilizers leach into water systems, polluting ecosystems and jeopardizing public health.

Join us as we explore the challenges and breakthroughs of denim recycling, including insights into mechanical vs. chemical recycling, and discover companies leading the way. From using pre-consumer waste to crafting bio-based fibers, this episode is a deep dive into the sustainable solutions shaping a more eco-friendly future for denim.

Whether you're a denim lover or a sustainability advocate, this discussion invites you to consider how the choices we make in fashion impact our planet.
