Question 9/10

Second-hand shopping is a cornerstone of sustainable fashion due to its ability to reduce waste and conserve resources. By giving clothing a new life, it decreases the environmental impact associated with textile production and landfill waste. Moreover, using for second-hand items promotes a circular economy by extending the lifecycle of garments and minimizing the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and transportation. Often second-hand market is not an option for fast fashion items that are poorly made and cannot have a second life.

Question 9/10

The fashion industry is a major global polluter, causing environmental harm through high water use, chemical pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste from fast fashion. Its carbon footprint is large due to energy-intensive textile production and global transportation. Synthetic fibers also release microplastics into water systems. Tackling these problems needs a shift to sustainable practices that lessen environmental impact and support ecological balance.

Congratulations!

You completed the fashion quiz! Did you know that our journey from waste to wear showcases how, with the support of our partners, collected fishing nets suitable for recycling are transformed into new products, keeping them in the material flow ? Through collaboration, we ensure that these recovered nets are given a new life. Our partners play a crucial role in this process. Companies like Bracenet create accessories directly from our fishing nets, while others, like our founding partner Aquafil, recycle the suitable nets along with other discarded nylon to produce new, high-quality nylon . By utilising waste instead of new resources, our partners help us achieve a dual goal: cleaning the seas of marine litter and ghost nets and reducing the extraction of new resources from the Earth.
