Sustainable clothing
Sustainable clothing means fabrics manufactured from
environmentally friendly resources, such as sustainably grown fiber crops or
recycled materials. It also explains how these fabrics are made. Historically,
being environmentally conscious about clothing has meant-
i.
Sustaining, repairing, and patching fabrics,
ii.
Inheriting and using hand-me-downs between families and communities,
iii.
Buying clothes from stores. Shop or store that sells second-hand clothing, or
iv. Donates used clothing to the aforementioned stores for reuse or resale. In modern times, with a prominent trend towards sustainability and being 'green', sustainable clothing has expanded
v. To reduce the amount of clothing produced,
burned, or discarded in landfills, and
vi.
To reduce the environmental impact of agrochemicals.
By
using recycled materials to make garments, the economic world provides an
additional field of profit. Sustainable clothing will provide additional job
opportunities, a steady net flow of money into the global economy, and a new
market for reducing the use of raw materials and virgin resources. Reducing
sources or reducing the use of raw materials and virgin resources may
ultimately reduce carbon emissions during the production process as well as
resources related to the transportation process and carbon emissions. This
prevents the sustainable use of extracts from the earth using what has already
been used.

We appreciate the positive global impact of Patagonia's fair trade factory, its secondhand ware wear collection, and durable clothing for all.
