Plastic Soup Foundation recently attended the #FutureFabricsExpo in London by The Sustainable Angle, showcasing #plastic-free alternatives and solutions. Founder Maria Westerbos led a panel discussion on the harmful impact of materials like nylon and the chemicals used in their production. Right now, 70% of all clothing produced is made with plastic derived from oil, consuming 50 billion kilos of oil annually. This makes the clothing industry one of the biggest polluters of the planet, with disastrous effects on both the environment and human health. Check out their post for the key takeaways and learn more about the solutions discussed: 👉🏼 Consume Less: A significant reduction in consumer purchases can impact the fast fashion model. 👉🏼 Government Action: Regulatory interventions and making companies accountable for their pollution through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). 👉🏼 System Change: Collaborating with textile innovators to ensure materials are tested for toxins and their long-term impacts.

Have you ever thought about the carbon footprint of your fashion purchases? 💭As we become more conscious of our food and air miles, it's time to consider our #fashionmiles too. British Vogue's latest article highlights the unseen impact of #shipping our garments globally, especially from the rise of ultra-fast fashion and on-demand consumer culture, revealing the hidden carbon #emissions tied to our favorite brands. Some highlights: ✨ VEJA's bold move to ban air transportation for its trainers significantly reduced their emissions, showcasing the power of mindful logistics. ✨ Similarly, Reformation's shift away from air freight and Maggie Marilyn's regional supply chains demonstrate how brands are rethinking their operations to minimize environmental impact. From our side, Mover is dedicated to reducing transportation emissions by sourcing and producing all our sportswear in #Portugal to serve our European market. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our shipping practices, where we also focus on regional areas to ensure our shipments travel the least miles possible. In the future, we aim to be as close as possible with our production and transport routes to our customer as possible. As eco-conscious consumers, supporting brands that prioritise #sustainability across all aspects of their supply chain is crucial.

Let's explore the future of fashion and sport clothes materials: How can we scale next-gen innovations effectively? Accelerating next-gen material innovations in fashion requires strategic actions. According to a new report by Sustainabelle Advisory Services, supported by Kering and the Laudes Foundation, three key strategies stand out: 👉🏼 Focus on alignment and standardization through industry cooperation and transparency – Open-source resources and forming industry trade associations (e.g., The Woolmark Company) can provide clarity and enable action. 👉🏼 Optimize R&D through supplier partnerships and shared resources – Leveraging supplier knowledge and facilities can shorten timelines, improve results, and achieve faster economies of scale. 👉🏼 Confront funding challenges with catalytic funding opportunities – Lobbying for government support, developing pre-collaborative R&D funding from brands, and initiating prizes/competitions can increase public and private funding opportunities. Implementing these strategies can drive the adoption of sustainable materials, making initiatives like Mover Plastic Free Sportswear a reality.
