It’s no secret that the clothing industry has a sustainability problem. Fast fashion is rapidly contributing to climate change, whether due to its use of fossil fuels during production or the pollution caused by the amount of clothing that ends up at the dump.
Think about it. Would you rather have clothes that:
- Last for years and look good no matter the trends?
- Or get destroyed easily and look cheap, no matter how you style them?
Yeah, that’s what we thought.
One thing is clear: Clothing needs an overhaul.
When we think about fast fashion and climate change, we generally think about bargain fashion sites and quick-changing trend cycles. However, merchandise is a less talked about but essential part of the problem.
From businesses to musical artists to athletics, merchandise is a billion-dollar industry with a serious environmental impact.
If you’re a business owner considering where to source your merchandise, it’s time to explore your options. For too long, the custom merchandise industry has had a few players with obscure manufacturing practices. Thankfully, a new company wants to change that.
