Raising awareness about the importance of eco-friendly behavior is one of the vital tasks we have today.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t come as surprise that fashion industry is also trying to keep up with the global trends and contribute to the overall efforts to use more sustainable materials and adopt better business and production policies.<\/p>\n

As we are a consumer society, buying clothes is one of our regular activities, even a daily one for some.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why sustainable clothing fabrics represent the future of fashion.<\/p>\n

And fashion is one of the greatest ways to reach millions of people and make a statement that won\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

What is Sustainable Fashion?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sustainable fashion<\/a> starts long before the decision to reuse a dress or a pair of jeans.<\/p>\n

It covers the whole process \u2014 from producing any kind of clothes or shoes as to make it as environmentally friendly as possible to rethinking our shopping habits and trying to adopt more sustainable ones.<\/p>\n

This means that all along this journey we have to use natural resources carefully and efficiently so they\u2019re not wasted.<\/p>\n

It also means us trying to use renewable resources whenever possible.<\/p>\n

In the end, it means not throwing away anything that can be recycled<\/a>, reused, and repaired.<\/p>\n

Many top brands are now working towards changing and adapting their business practices, from manufacturing to distribution and advertising of their goods, so they can contribute the overall level of sustainability in fashion.<\/p>\n

What Fabrics are Considered Sustainable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Choosing naturally produced sustainable clothing fabrics is one of the ways in which we can deal with our insatiable desire for more and new in fashion.<\/p>\n

These fabrics are made without adding chemicals and synthetic fibers, which are basically microplastics and harm our environment in many ways.<\/p>\n

These are some of the most commonly used and most sustainable fabrics.<\/p>\n

Organic Cotton<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cotton is made from plants so you can grow it in natural conditions and use renewable resources.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to worry about this fabric contaminating the oceans because it\u2019s biodegradable and doesn\u2019t require much time to produce.<\/p>\n

As growing cotton often means great quantities of water in order to maintain the crop, organic cotton<\/a> can be a better option for fashion industries as it needs fewer pesticides and less water than conventional cotton.<\/p>\n

According to some findings, a simple T-shirt made of organic cotton instead of the conventional one, saves almost 2,000 gallons of water<\/a>.<\/p>\n
