In this episode of '100% Made in Sustainability' we find out what fashion manufacturers and brands are doing to manage and limit the impact of chemicals during production and preserve the environment.

Water conservation and pollution

In a rapidly changing world, where trends and consumer tastes profoundly influence the fashion industry, it is essential to pay attention to environmental and social issues related to the production and consumption of clothing.

Fashion, with its ability to express individuality and lifestyles, has a significant impact on the environment and the people involved along the supply chain. We will discuss crucial issues such as forced labour and working conditions in developing countries, where production often takes place at unacceptable human costs.

We will also explore concepts such as water footprint and carbon footprint, measuring the water and carbon footprint of the products we wear every day, often without knowing their impact on the environment.

From legislation seeking to regulate these practices to the current landscape of sustainable innovations in the fashion industry, we will explore the challenges and opportunities ahead as we seek to marry a passion for style with a more responsible view of our planet and global communities.
