"In general, we tend to link environmental pollution to distant manufacturing, mining, or power
enterprises. We often forget about the person at a shopping mall or ourselves, throwing out old
clothes and making room for new ones. The truth is that today the clothing and fashion industries
have a major impact on environmental pollution. The fashion industry is the second dirtiest
environmental pollution in the world today. The long supply chain of the fashion business
including production, raw materials, textile manufacturing, shipping, sale, and finally disposal
causes immense wastage of water as well as the use of hazardous toxic chemicals. The second
largest clean water polluter is textile dyeing. One of the most used, popular, and cost-effective
materials in the fashion industry is Polyester. Polyester shredding of microfibers increases the
plastic level in oceans and endangers oceanic life and aquatic life globally.
Even though we as consumers don’t tend to think about our impact on environmental pollution,
we consumers are a main factor in it. As consumers, in this fast-growing fashion world, we can
take some actions to reduce these environmental impacts.
As a company what “Shift Clothing” does is, fills the gap between those who want to buy quality
clothes at a lower price and those who want to sell their used clothes in good condition. Few
researchers have found that people have unworn clothes in their wardrobes higher than worn
clothes. Whenever they try to buy new clothes what people do mostly is throw
the old clothes including these unworn clothes and clothes in good condition. We “Shift Clothing”
are making a new brand and a marketplace for people to buy and sell these clothes with confidence.
When it comes to buying used products it’s normal for people to doubt the condition and quality
of the product they are buying. So as “Shift Clothing” we make sure our customers get quality
products.
This type of business model can help to reduce environmental pollution by keeping the
manufactured clothes in use for a longer period. This also reduces the manufacturing of new
clothes and can help to slow down the fashion industry in some ways. Another main advantage of
this business is people can make some extra money by selling their used clothes and people can
buy clothes for cheaper prices." |
