Fashion – A problem to the environment
Fast fashion in particular, has given the consumer the opportunity to buy more, for less. Consumption of textiles has quadrupled creating waste management problem our environment can’t keep up with. In totality, écotorie anticipates a cumulative of 13 million tons of synthetic fibers to be dumped into our Oceans and landfills. Out of which, 85% of materials could be re-used. At écotorie, we believe in creating high quality timeless products while ensuring we care of the environment at every stage of the supply chain.
