Environmental Impact

The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. More than 80 billion pieces of clothing are produced worldwide each year. Of these pieces, 75% will end up in landfills, meaning the fashion industry is absorbing our planet’s resources at an unsustainable rate.

Greenpeace has noted that consumers buy 60% more clothing today while keeping for half as long as they did 15 years ago. More than 75% of the carbon footprint in the lifecycle of a piece of clothing happens at clothing mills, where fibres are spun and woven. The vast majority of clothing produced ends up incinerated or in landfills, which takes up to 200 years to decompose, creating even more pollution by emitting hazardous chemicals and greenhouse gases.

When you shop at Zoehify, you advocate for change by offsetting the fashion industry’s carbon footprint while contributing to a circular economy.
