Executive Summary - Eco-Friendly Clothing
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Most of the clothes and bags manufactured today are composed of synethic fabrics, plastic and harmful chemicals. This has greatly contributed to the process of global warming.
The growing concern for global warming boosts the demand for organic products. With chemicals taking a toll on human health and environment, more and more people are becoming conscious of living life; the 'organic way'. Eco friendly products combining high quality with socially conscious environmentalism has become a faction, and is in vogue
Eco friendly labels are now appearing on many products, due to the efforts of the companies to be perceived as environment friendly. Health concerns represent a potential source of benefits and demand for organic apparel.
Our company deals with the manufacturing of eco-friendly clothes and bags.
'Green clothing' is made from hundred percent organic materials like soy, organic cotton and hemp. Variety of clothes like skirts, blouses, shirts, pants, etc are made from organic fibres. Not only the fibres used for manufacturing the garments are organic, but the dyes used in the process of making these clothes are also environmentally friendly, or those which have a less impact on the human skin.
Eco-friendly products are a step towards nature conservation. Manufacturers of today are considering organic garments to be ethical, and are striving to set new market trends. Apparel business is very enormous, and there is always a resistance to change. But with consumers dictating the market today; having an 'organic wardrobe' depends wholly on the consumer's choice. The bottom line of every market is 'demand', and manufacturers will only do what the consumers' desire.

    Another issue at the forefront of the consumer goods market is the waste that is produced by not only the producer, but the consumer as well. Patagonia has a worn wear program that has been in effect since day 1 of their conception. They only encourage their customers to purchase new items if the other is completely unsalvageable. All of their products come with a lifetime warranty and repair process. If one of their jackets has a defect, or you tear a hole, they will repair it free of charge. This has a tremendous impact on wasteful spending, and helps reduce the amount of waste their company contributes to the…

    When people look at an organic product, the first thing they are most likely to notice is its cost. Which, under normal circumstances, is remarkably higher than average products. Since people have the misconception that the word "organic" on food labels means "all natural," they accepted this phenomenon as a necessary price to pay for a healthy life, but it merely indicates that the product is minimally processed and is preservative free. The true reason behind the intimidating price of organic product is because organic production prohibits the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides as well as genetic manipulation of plants. These standards require greater labor input from organic farmers to provide a purer product, and at the same time help to protect our environment.…

    These people who believe that they are helping the environment are just poorly educated rich people. While these big companies know all about the “green movement” they start false advertising “Eco friendly products” when these products actually hurt the environment and these big companies can make a quick $80 dollars. These clothes or whatever you are buying it gets you more into this common mindset, According Alex Steffen in this article “we are all going to do an avert large scale planetary catastrophe upon us making just slightly better chopping decisions.” This is just saying getting slightly better won't be good enough to change the catastrophic things we have put upon the world. So we…

    Our first motive is to spread awareness amongst the mass about sustainable fashion and the affects its absence has on our environment. The fashion industry is based on a model of continual economic growth fuelled by ever-increasing consumption of resources. What needs to be retained is – continual economic growth and what needs to be changed is – ever-increasing resource consumption. So what I propose here is an idea which can possibly be a giant step towards sustainable fashion. The concept central to this idea is – reusability. So what is to be done is that there is a central organization called SFO, Sustainable Fashion Organization. The SFO buys all the to-be-thrown or to-be-wasted clothes on a massive scale. Then the clothes are analysed and classified on the basis of their reusable ratio. The clothes which are good enough have a high reusable ratio. The best breeds are recycled and reused to create new clothes that are eco-friendly, economic and sustainable. While the not so good breeds are used in other areas like manufacturing doormats and bags.…

With a 10 percent growth from the previous year and $35 billion in sales, the rise in concern by consumers for healthier lifestyles and environmental preservation has created an increased demand for organic and natural product. “The majority of organic sales (93 percent) take place through conventional and natural supermarkets and chains, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA)…the remaining 7 percent of U.S. organic food sales occur through farmers ' markets, foodservice, and marketing channels other than retail stores” (USDA, 2014).

    Driven by my passion for sustainable fashion, I am particularly interested in the environmental impact of garment waste ending up in landfills. Every year, 0.5 million tonnes of clothing are dumped into landfill sites in the world (M&S.com, 2013). Furthermore, one in four garments sold is thrown away each year. Textile waste in landfills is now raising environmental issues. For example, synthetic fibre products do not decompose and this threatens local group water suppliers. Since there are many chemical and toxic materials such as dyes and bleaches in rubbish, water that passes through the rubbish may become 200 times more toxic than raw sewage. In contrast, woollen garments do decompose but produce methane that leads to climate issues.…
