SUSTAINABILITY

The production of synthetic fabrics is considered to be one the main source of pollution ,being petrol the base in their compositions . Through each industrial washings, thousands of invisible synthetic fibres end up in our sewage networks, ending in the sea, where they are eventually ingested or absorbed by the fish fauna, consequently affecting our already weak food chain.
This is too heavy a burden to bear, first of all for the environment and for people's health, but also for many workers in the sector who are subjected to gruelling working hours and conditions, compensated with starvation wages to keep garment prices low and competitive.
