The Environmental Impact of the Fashion Industry

The Environmental Impact of the Fashion Industry

Posted by Maria Bianchi on

The fashion industry has a significant impact on our planet. The overproduction of textiles consumes enormous amounts of natural resources and significantly contributes to climate change. For example, producing just one kilogram of cotton fabric can require up to 20,000 liters of water. Additionally, dyeing and finishing processes often release harmful chemicals into the environment. This intensive production cycle generates substantial CO2 emissions, driving global warming.

Every small action counts, and creating mindfully is crucial for positive change. Together, we can transform the fashion industry and reduce our collective environmental impact. At EVA re-source, we believe in long-lasting quality, so we carefully select materials from the most prestigious Italian and French fashion houses. Upcycle and give new life to overstock textiles: your next collection starts here.

By purchasing our deadstock fabrics, you help reduce waste and lower carbon emissions. Your unique and timeless garments can encourage others to make responsible choices. Celebrate your values and experiences with the world.

EVA re-source specializes in offering deadstock and overstock materials to brands, makers, and educators. With a curated selection of fabrics directly sourced from prestigious Italian and French fashion houses, we strive to make luxury materials accessible to everyone without compromising on quality. We are a source of inspiration, supporting creatives in realizing their vision.

Our mission is to promote responsible design within the fashion industry by minimizing waste. We aim to inspire and empower designers, turning their ideas into reality with the highest quality fabrics.

Our values include:

  • Excellence: A vast selection of carefully chosen materials.
  • Circularity: Committed to a fashion model that gives new life to materials and reduces waste.
  • Experience: Over 70 years of expertise in the sector.
  • Responsibility: Promoting recycling, repurposing, and upcycling.

We believe in Circular Creativity, which means giving life to creations by considering the needs of the planet. It means being concerned with the lifecycle of each creation, expressing what we have inside in a sustainable way. It is everyone's duty, but often a right of few. For this reason, we support designers and creatives, small or large, young or established, to create an ethical and sustainable world. We believe in second-hand raw materials, which are not waste but a resource for rebirth.

At EVA re-source, we represent an opportunity to change direction in the fashion world. We offer an engaging space where the needs of creatives are recognized and highlighted, where customers can seek advice and leave inspired. We support designers and creative professionals in developing collections and fashion accessories by giving them access to the overstock of major fashion houses. Join us for more sustainable and creative fashion.
