Traditionally, many fashion products end up as waste due to their short lifespan and the challenges in recycling blended or contaminated materials. This contributes to the massive 92 million tons of textile waste produced annually. The complexities of recycling blended fabrics like poly-viscose and stretchy denim, along with harmful substances in dyes, further complicate the recycling process.
Ecodesign guides you in creating products that minimize waste and support a circular economy. It starts with designing durable products that meet high-quality standards, ensuring they last longer and are resistant to wear and tear. This supports efforts towards repair, reuse, and recycling. Key components include using recycled materials and designing products with easily dismantlable or biodegradable components like labels and buttons.
Adopting ecodesign principles helps reduce waste and promotes a circular economy. Energy and water efficiency are critical, and our platform's manufacturers are transitioning to sustainable practices, including the use of certified green power. Transparency and traceability enhance consumer trust, especially with upcoming regulations such as the EU's Digital Product Passport (DPP) by 2028, which will provide detailed lifecycle information. By integrating ecodesign strategies, brands can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and showcase the impact of their products.
