We act as a catalyst for change.
The textile industry employs millions of people around the world and makes a significant contribution to the world economy. However, the production and consumption of textiles can cause significant environmental, climate and social impacts.
Over the past few decades, in Europe, the fall in clothing prices, combined with marketing and increased purchasing power, has led to an increase in clothing purchases. Fast fashion – characterized by quick changes in collections and fashion trends, promotes increased consumption while reducing the useful life of garments.
Textiles are fundamental to our society, providing us with countless products for personal use (clothing, footwear) and for use in our homes and other buildings (carpets, curtains, furniture).
Over the past few decades, in Europe, the fall in clothing prices, combined with marketing and increased purchasing power, has led to an increase in clothing purchases. Fast fashion – characterized by quick changes in collections and fashion trends, promotes increased consumption while reducing the useful life of garments.
Europeans use an average of 26 kg of textiles per person per year and discard around 11 kg of textiles per person per year. (European Environment Agency).
Because of this trend, LIPOR intends to act as a catalyst for change, undertaking actions in favor of reducing waste and reusing textiles, minimizing waste production.
It is time to act. Get into... sustainable fashion!
T-Circular
The Consumer as an active part in the Circularity of Textiles
In the clothing cycle, from purchase, through use, to disposal, there is enormous potential in terms of what each of us can do as a consumer.
With T-Circular we want that sustainable fashion to become, more and more, a trend!
We work to raise awareness of the value of clothing and ease its maximum use, minimizing waste.
