    I was fortunate to spend a nice, sunny, Sunday in Greenwich Park whilst visiting in London. Whilst there I wandered into the Queen’s House – a wonderful (and free) museum. Exquisite architecture (Indigo Jones) and artworks ranging from Holbein to L.S. Lowry to Tania Kovats. Here’s a taste..

    🔹 10% of our EU merchandising spend managed by these two key partners

    🔹 Presence in hundreds of stores worldwide – a solid global impact

      Great to see and finally meet with long standing suppliers after such a long time. Looks like they have some very new kit in place as well. I’m sure this was a great opportunity to chat with them about the future also.…

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
