Look, the Garment Industry is full of misleading a far-flung claims about these “hot topics.” Most of what is considered “ecofriendly” is made from recycled plastics like water bottles and old fishing nets. This is turned into polyester which takes up over half of the textile fabric produced globally. Recycling is not always an environmentally neutral endeavor. There is the issue of sourcing (collecting) and transporting and the process of breaking down the bottles themselves into a usable fabric. The biggest issue though is microplastics, a problem becoming more and more relevant in today’s world.
