Do you ever think about human impact before you buy a new item of clothing?

You should!

The process of making clothes has a lot of human impact because it involves a lot of people. And a lot of the times the impact is NEGATIVE. 👎🏻

So how can you make sure the human impact for clothing is POSITIVE? 🤔 You should look for brands that:

✅ Provide sustainable employment in a safe work environment for ALL people ✅ Are committed to addressing inequalities and poverty ✅ Invest in programs that offer learning opportunities for its workers and education for their communities ✅ Have programs and practices in place to keep its workers healthy and promote wellbeing

We know this can be hard to wrap your head around, because who doesn’t like new things? (And who wouldn’t want a super cute, sustainable tee from us? 😉)

But before you hit buy, you should always check to see if you NEED the item first. And check out all your options (bc new isn’t the only one!) The most sustainable choice is to use what you already have!⁠

Which of these aspects is the hardest for you to do?⁠

LET’S TALK ABOUT FASHION WASTE BABY!

Waste is a big factor when deciding if a piece of clothing is sustainable or not.

But what exactly should you be looking for when it comes to waste? 🧐 Brands that:

🗑 are minimizing water usage and dispose of water in ways that isn’t hella pollutive
🗑 are substituting petroleum-based (aka oil-based) chemicals with better ones
🗑 capture their chemical effluents (essentially used chemicals) so they don’t pollute environments
🗑 offset and are working towards reducing their carbon emissions

At @slvrmapleofficial we make our clothes with as MINIMAL waste as possible. Use code GREENALLY to get 25% off your first order and try them out for yourself 🌿💖

🌿fibers that are certified and are less resource-intensive
🌿fibers that are biodegradable or can be recycled or repurposed
🌿clothes with trims and decorations (like buttons, beads, etc) made from natural materials
