In partnership with Fashion Revolution, during the April 14 webinar, we had a conversation about the connection between plastic and fashion: from the way microplastics in clothing are polluting our air and water to the processing of synthetic materials and their toxic effects on garment workers as well as unintentional greenwashing in the industry. Empowered with this knowledge, brands can do better business and stay true to their values while taking real action towards social and environmental justice.
Fashion Revolution Week (April 19-25, 2021) is designed for the global community to create a better fashion industry, and in 2021 will focus on the interconnectedness of human rights and the rights of nature. Their campaign will amplify unheard voices across the fashion supply chain and harness the creativity of the community to explore innovative and interconnected solutions.
