Taste Of Moon combining our investment in eco-friendly product packaging with vintage and reworked clothing, we are minimizing energy, waste, and water footprints.
WHY WE DO:
The packaging and fast fashion industries are some of the most polluting industries in the world. Knowledge is power, so here are a few statistics on the global impacts of fast fashion and product packaging:
Garment manufacturing causes about 20% of industrial water pollution. It takes 2,700 liters of water to produce a single cotton shirt, which is enough water for one person to drink for 2.5 years.
32% of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans of the 14.68 million tons of plastic packaging generated globally.
PRE-LOVED AND VINTAGE ITMES
By wearing pre-loved and vintage clothing, you are reducing your personal carbon footprint. This occurs in two ways:
- You are reducing the amount of emissions and resources put into your wardrobe that impacts the environment
- You are providing used garments with a home, rather than contributing to the 10.5 million (and growing) tons of textiles discarded to landfills each year.
