Celia Ingesson about sustainability

We live in times of unprecedented change, we've had 12,000 years of a stable climate. We’re now in an era where we're creating man-made change to nature. Nature is our only home, we can't live anywhere else!

In the words of Barack Obama, we are actually the first generation to understand climate change, and the last generation to do something about it!

”I believe that the future clothing industry will be all about taking full responsibility and advantage of the garment throughout its entire life cycle. This will be central for how the design process gets optimized, and how used textile will be regenerated into new textiles. For this to happen we must try to eliminate all toxic chemicals and only use biodegradable materials”.

The athletic industry is bad news for our climate, blame the athleisure trend.

Nearly half of the world’s clothing is made of polyester and Greenpeace forecasts this amount to nearly double by 2030. Why? The athleisure trend is one of the main reasons behind it: an increasing number of consumers looks for stretchier, more resistant garments. The problem is, polyester is not a sustainable textile option, as it is made from the most common type of plastic in the world. It doesn’t matter if garments are from virgin or recycled polyester, they both contribute to microplastics pollution.

According to a recent study, each cycle of a washing machine can release more than 700,000 plastic fibers into the environment!
