Most of us probably know that it is better to buy sustainable clothing of good quality, so called slow fashion instead of buying fast fashion, as it contributes to major environmental destruction.
Varje år orsakar Sveriges textilkonsumtion utsläpp av växthusgaser på över 4 miljoner ton Koldioxidekvivalenter. Det motsvarar utsläpp från 850 000 varv runt jorden med bil, vilket inte är hållbart för vår miljö.
The biggest environmental impact happens when manufacturing new products. As a children's clothing company, we want to remind our consumers how important it is to make more conscious and sustainable choices when you shopping clothes. By making sustainable choices, you reduce the impact on our environment and climate.
We at Geggamoja only sell environmentally friendly clothes and products. They are made from sustainable materials that have as little environmental impact as possible.
Our vision is to become Sweden's most environmentally conscious children's clothing company. We currently use 80% sustainable materials when we manufacture our products, but we are not satisfied there. Our goal is to reach 100%. We hope that you will join us on our journey towards creating an even more sustainable and environmentally conscious consumption. Below you can read about:
Why environmentally friendly and sustainable clothing for children is essential for the environment
For our environment and the planet to be well, be able to grow as it should and be a healthy place to live on, we all have to think and make more conscious choices when we shop. Environmentally friendly and sustainable clothes for children are:
- Important for people and animals to be able to live a healthy life as possible.
- So that our nature can survive and continue to grow freely without being destroyed by dangerous chemicals that are released and damage our environment and the planet.
- To reduce dangerus emissions. By buying environmentally friendly and durable clothing, we can reduce the amount of chemicals that are released into the air, and that flow into our lakes and rivers.
- To be able to reduce energy and water use in the manufacture of clothes. When you buy environmentally friendly clothes that are certified and have an environmental label, you can feel safe that knowing that less energy and water was used in the manufacturing process.
- To reduce the wear and tear culture. Purchases of fast fashion clothing are increasing. Consumers catch quickly on to new trends and buy garments of poor quality with a shorter lifespan. The garment is used only a few times before it breaks and is thrown away. It contributes to a big environmental destruction and growing garbage mountains of textile waste.
It is therefore incredibly important to think through your purchase.
