Every year, the fashion industry generates a staggering 92 million tonnes of textile waste globally. That’s equivalent to one garbage truck full of clothes being burned or sent to landfills every second. If we don’t change our habits, that number is projected to hit 134 million tonnes annually by 2030.
The main culprit? Fast fashion cheap, mass-produced clothing that’s designed to be disposable. Studies show that the average consumer buys 60% more clothing than 15 years ago, but keeps each item for only half as long. As a result, an estimated 85% of all textiles go to the dump each year.
At UNUMSHOP, we’re flipping the script. We believe in investing in timeless, sustainable fashion, the kind that’s made to last and be loved. Our curated brands use high-quality materials like organic cotton and bamboo, designed for longevity and everyday wear. By shopping consciously, you reduce waste, save money long-term, and make a serious impact.
Quick Tip: Consider a wardrobe audit. Donate what you no longer wear and replace low-quality basics with long-lasting essentials. Your closet and the planet will thank you.
