Consumers need to know the full environmental impact of the clothing they buy. A clothing sustainability claim that doesn't consider the impacts of microplastics is incomplete. #MakeTheLabelCount

Consumers want to be informed about the environmental impact of the clothing they buy. The PEF has to take microplastics into account if sustainability claims are going to be credible. #MakeTheLabelCount

That’s why today @ChangingMarkets reached out to the CEOs of 20 major fashion brands, including @Patagonia @marksandspencer @ASOS @nike asking them for complete transparency on their use of fossil fuels by Dec 2022, & to cut emissions by 55% across supply chains by 2030❌

This is how fossil fuels🛢are the backbone of fast fashion👕 With all eyes on #COP26, fashion brands are keen to highlight their climate pledges. But their huge reliance on fossil fuels for synthetic fiber is flying under the radar.
