What defines sustainable clothing
Sustainable clothing considers the full lifecycle of a garment—from raw material sourcing to production, distribution, and eventual disposal. It prioritizes lower-impact materials alongside processes that reduce water usage, chemical exposure, and carbon emissions. Equally important are ethical labor practices, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions.
