More clothes in landfills than on the body. why?

More clothes in landfills than on the body. why?

The more garments we purchase, the less we utilise them, resulting in rising fashion waste. As a result, the apparel and textile sector has risen to third spot on the list of the world's worst pollutants. Increasing awareness of how our clothing is created, what becomes to them when we no longer need them, and how we may buy, wear, and discard them differently might assist the environment. And though teenage girls with Instagram are frequently blamed for buying – and then discarding – fast fashion, anyone who continues to treat good clothes as disposable items contributes to the problem. When a t-shirt is less expensive than a cup of coffee, people don't necessarily attach value to it because it has been devalued.

 Every year, on average, a buyer will purchase 60% more apparel. Consumers are storing their garments less and less each year, according to fashion waste statistics. People today wear their garments for approximately half the time they did fifteen years ago. One out of every two persons throws their unneeded garments in the garbage rather than giving them away or donating them to those in need. As a result, a whopping 64 percent of all clothing made each year end up in landfills. Consumers discard clothing at a higher rate than producers. Only 15% of worn clothing is recycled by consumers, compared to almost 75% of pre-use apparel recycled by manufacturers. 

To alter these numbers, House of Babas has taken the initiative to manufacture streetwear lifestyle products from recycled and sustainable fabrics. They are inspiring the youngsters of India to take up the responsibility to save the environment and simultaneously uplift their own style. HOB develops recycled street-styled products for "urban desi" heads all over India, with the purpose of lowering global carbon footprints. While it comes to design, the environment, or cost, HOB considers all of the crucial variables when creating or selling its goods. In addition to having amazing designs, House of Babas is one of the few firms that makes sustainable and organic bespoke t-shirts and hoodies. They represent a generation of young people who want to redefine what it means to live an ecological lifestyle. If you become conscious about where your clothes are coming from, more apparel industries like HOB will follow your lead and produce green.
