Fast and cheap fashion is one if the biggest problems facing the planet today. Most people in the UK shop regularly at high street brands that make clothes inexpensive enough to change with every new season. We throw them away every couple of months and buy something new, with little thought to the consequence.
This type of short life fashion ships from faraway places, using non-renewable energy sources which pollute the environment. The companies that make cheap clothing on a massive often underpay employees and exploit natural resources as a matter of course, damaging the planet at every single turn.
WearYourWaste is a company that knows the clothing industry needs to be reshaped to give the planet a fighting chance. The founders, inspired by other people’s efforts all over the world, decided to make a change themselves, using their experience in beach clothing to set up a clothing company that would actually help the planet, instead of hurting it.
