From production to disposal clothing are significantly harmful to our environment and over 1 million tones of clothing is sent to landfill. Clothing being left in landfill causes dangerous carbon emissions and waste therefore, recycling and reusing textiles is extremely beneficial to the environment. Denim is one of the most polluting materials in the industry and the most common piece in everyone’s wardrobe therefore I used denim to promote recycling and reusing. https://traid.org.uk/clothes-reuse-and-recycling/

The circular economy is when recycled material such as post-consumer recycled denim is manufactured into new clothing ensuring no waste.  The industry needs to guarantee a circular economy, “one that moves beyond fashion’s linear model of take, make and waste, to close the loop.” – Isabella Salini “can denim be sustainable?” 2019.

I feel there is a possibility for a sustainable future for the textile industry if we continue to improve current innovative methods of production and follow the principles of the circular economy. It will also be very beneficial if more consumers were to make a conscious effort to query the source of their clothing and dispose of their garments sustainably or give them a new life
