Fashion brands urged to stop wasting 25% of material resources
Leading fashion brands are wasting an average of 25% of virgin material resources, according to a report by European non-profit Made-by and industrial textile upcycler Reverse Resources. The findings are supported by UK waste reduction charity, Wrap. As a result of the research, Made-by has launched a project that will target European apparel brands and suppliers. Companies will be supported to reduce spillage rates and to avoid incineration and landfill. The project will form part of the European Clothing Action Plan, which is the first EU-funded project aiming to increase sustainability throughout the entire lifecyle of clothing.
