CNN's Going Green Series Illuminates Fashion Revolutionaries Transforming the Industry
July 25, 2024 - Hong Kong, PR China -- Fast fashion's carbon footprint and environmental impacts are becoming increasingly scrutinized. The latest installment of CNN’s Going Green series showcases pioneering innovators who are reshaping sustnable fashion through transparency in supply chns, cleaner materials, and circular production cycles.
The program dives into New York-based designer Gabriela Hearst - a visionary leader driving the luxury sustnable fashion movement with her namesake label. Inspired by her upbringing on an off-grid ranch in Uruguay, Gabriela prioritizes environmental consciousness from sourcing raw materials to minimizing waste throughout her design process.
In Spn, CNN highlights Carmen Hijosa and Ananas Anam, creators of Pi?atex - a revolutionary eco-frily leather made from pineapple leaf fibers. By upcycling this resource, Carmen offers an alternative that avoids the harsh environmental impacts associated with traditional leather production, which includes habitat destruction and toxic chemical use.
The series also spotlights Finland's Infinited Fiber Company, whose goal is to make fashion more circular. They have developed a method for converting discarded cotton-bled fabrics into 100 recycled textiles named Infinna Fiber. Through innovative processes, this company has produced batches of several hundred items per collection with the intent to scale production significantly in the coming year.
Dutch footwear recycling pioneer FastFeetGrinded turns entire shoes back into raw materials, repurposing them for reuse. By diverting millions of shoes from landfills annually, FastFeetGrinded offers a solution that not only reduces waste but also cuts carbon emissions.
To address transparency concerns throughout the industry, TrusTrace introduces software that enables brands to track garment production in real-time. This platform collects data directly from suppliers and validates this information through indepent third-party audits, offering brands insights into their entire value chn while helping identify areas for waste reduction and improved processes.
