Sustainable Clothing Action Plan Launched at London Fashion Week
Defra Minster Lord Hunt announced a sustainable clothing action plan, last week, at the launch of London Fashion Week. We are really pleased to hear that another step is being taken to help combat the environmental impacts of fast fashion. Amidst the glitz and consumerism of London Fashion Week, it is great to hear some really positive news about sustainable fashion.
Full details of the action plan are available on the DEFRA website but it is basically about bringing together the major players in the fashion industry including retailers, designers and textile manufacturers to make positive changes which will make a significant difference to the environmental footprint and social inequalities which blight some of the production and retail processes of consumer fashion.
More than 300 organisations have joined up including Marks and Spencers, Sainsburys and Oxfam with the actions being taken ranging from increasing ranges of Fairtrade and Organic to supporting green clothing factories and increasing consumer awareness on the environmental benefits of clothing reuse.
We at Posh Swaps are in complete support of the Governements action plan and will be continuing to our bit by promoting and enabling the reuse and recycling of second hand clothes.
