Our Sustainability
How do we work towards closed-loop recycling? How “big” of an impact does each of our products have? How can we eliminate or atleast lighten the huge impact the clothing-industry has on the environment?
We at ByThea have tried to summarize these questions below and hopefully you will make the right decision & buy sustainably!
Closed-Loop Recycling:
What is Closed-Loop Recycling?
Closed-Loop recycling is a process where a product or material can be used to become a new product without losing its abilities during the recycle-process.
How do we at ByThea use it?
Every set, every collection that we produce is bought locally from second-hand stores in Sweden. Our philosophy is to use each fabric and each piece from those items to give them a new life and find them a new home.
No more unfair production facilites & no more wastes.
Our Products:
No product can truly be eco-friendly. Every item we buy from second-hand stores originally comes from a production floor at some point. But however, we can still be sustainable! Instead of creating new products with new materials that has a greater impact on the environment we can re-use the materials to lighten the impact.
Buying from us will approximately save between 820-1300 liters of water & roughly 3-10 Kilograms of CO2 per item.
The Present &
The Future:
The Fashion Industry today accounts for 8-10% of humanity’s global carbon emissions and almost 20% of the global wastewater.
But enough talking about the present, let’s talk about the future! If more people were like you, we would not have had these numbers. Why produce more materials and clothing when there is already enough? If we focus more on re-using more than re-wasting we can all have a planet that everyone will and can live on.
This generation and the next to come will thank you.
Do you want to help us?
This is your chance to help us. Help us help the environment with no more extra materials. We already got plenty of clothing that needs a new home, so this is your chance to break the open cycle, and join the new closed-loop cycle.
