The textile industry is one of global importance, providing high levels of employment, foreign exchange revenue and products essential to human welfare.
-
The world is producing and consuming more textiles than ever before, and the current very low re-use and recycling rates mean that more textiles are also being thrown away than ever before. This requires ever more land, water and fossil fuels, and leads to increasing pollution of the air, water and soil.
-
It also means a considerate value loss - globally, the annual cost to consumers of throwing out clothing that they could continue to wear is estimated at $460 billion. With sales expected to grow further, accelerated through ever increasing demand for fast fashion, actions for a sustainable textile value chain, including new business models, are indispensable.
-
Hazardous substances are a barrier to achieving more sustainable and circular value chains. Transparency on products’ chemical content, production history, and properties for use and after use is fundamental. The global growing fashion appetite has also a potential to be a highly visible engine for lifestyle change and consumer education.
Not Just Textiles...
6ix Side Swag wants to be part of being the change.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
With it's core set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, the UN’s blueprint for achieving a happier and healthier world by 2030, one can wonder: how do we all manifest these goals in our own lives?
TOGETHER!
