Know Your Clothing

Let us be aware of the contents of our clothing and have a clear picture of our clothing's origins. I am an avid supporter of what Know Your Clothing is doing to help make this happen! #naturalfibers #transparency

? Where were the fibers made or grown on the clothing you wear? ? Who makes your clothing at each step of its process? ? Does the material of your clothing derive from fossil fuels (aka plastic) or natural fibers? ? Can your clothing be recycled or upcycled at the end of its life? Know Your Clothing is working to help ensure an equitable transparent apparel supply chain across the industry, so consumers can make educated choices on what they wear. Together, we can redefine the way clothing is made, worn, and valued, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow. ? Follow along on our journey ?

We value circularity in the apparel industry. This means buying products that will last and ensuring that they can be recycled or reused to become something new at the end of life. No garments should be wasted. To take action, donate to Know Your Clothing to help us make the apparel industry better for all. >> https://lnkd.in/gigDp2-j #Change #Transparency #KnowYourClothing #Circularity #SlowFashion #Donate #EndFastFashion

???Happy World Cotton Day??? Today, we celebrate cotton—a natural fiber that plays a crucial role in promoting circularity and sustainability. Unlike synthetic materials, cotton does not contribute to microplastic pollution in our oceans and ecosystems. Its biodegradability and renewable nature make it a key player in creating a more circular and responsible apparel industry. At?Know Your Clothing, we’re committed to building a future where natural fibers like cotton lead the way in reducing waste, combating overproduction, and fostering transparency. By supporting locally grown, natural fibers, we are taking steps toward a cleaner planet and healthier communities. Join us by being aware of the content of your clothing, and supporting circularity. What fabrics are you wearing today? ?? #WorldCottonDay #Sustainability #CircularFashion #CottonForGood #KnowYourClothing

We are excited to release our first white paper, Black Walnut Project: Creating a Black Walnut Value Chain Originating from Natural Dye for Textiles. A team of Sustainable Innovation MBA students from the University of Vermont, Gibbs Eddy, MBA, Brian Lamoureux, Georgia Lambrakis, MBA teamed up with Know Your Clothing for their Practicum Project. They led independent research and interviews with potential collaborators to aid in developing a system to leverage black walnuts commercially in North Carolina. Read the white paper >> https://lnkd.in/ets3b86E Our founder Eric Henry worked closely with the team as they toured North Carolina to interview stakeholders which led to the developing of a shared vision, strategy, and key performance indicators for the collaboration of a black walnut collective. They presented their findings in September, and we are thrilled to finally unveil the finished product, beautifully designed by Eric Henry. Stay tuned for more updates and check out the white paper to dive into our groundbreaking work on improving the apparel industry! Follow. Subscribe.
