Are you on the search for ethical brands but are struggling to navigate through the fields of fast fashion? With the ever growing demand for eco-consious and sustainable production, we hope this guide will point out some key factors to consider when evaluating a brand.
Sustainable Materials and Practices
Some key indicators on whether a brand is ethical or not is the materials they use and practices they are committed to upholding. Such materials include organic cotton, hemp and recycled polyester. Additional brands will have practices such as a zero-waste policy or promoting clothing repair as part of their ethical business model.
Fair Labour Practices
Fair treatment in the workplace is a priority to being an ethical brand. When shopping ethical, look out for brands where employees are provided for in their wages and working conditions, following all labour laws and also supporting the local community to add to their ethical commitments.
