To accelerate positive transformation in the fashion industry, brands must:

  • Recognize that offsetting carbon cannot serve as a replacement for genuine emissions reductions.
    • Used more — where excess inventory is reduced/not destroyed, and customers are empowered with tools to maintain the physical/ emotional appeal of products (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2020)
    • Remanufactured — where landfilling, incineration, or waste-to-energy practices are avoided (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2020)
    • Crafted using eco-friendly and renewable materials/processes — free from hazardous substances, microfibre plastics, reduced use of virgin raw materials, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2020)
  • Engage consumers on product quality, product durability and information regarding impact per wear/ expected lifespan of the product (Bain & Company, 2022).
  • Address the information gap by increasing transparency via better in store displays, labelling, and product descriptions, to promote consumer understanding of the impact of their fashion choices (Bain & Company, 2022).
  • Move towards incorporating responsible materials
