It's about, like the need for people to be able to buy second hand and- and I'll kind of flip it where the second hand market right now is, I believe, either bigger or about to be bigger than the fast fashion industry.
Ever thought about the environmental impact of your wardrobe? In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, host Imperfect Foods chats with Taryn Hipwell, the visionary behind Beyond the Label, a nonprofit dedicated to educating consumers about sustainable fashion. Taryn dives into the startling similarities between fast fashion and single-use plastics, shedding light on why our clothing choices matter just as much as our food choices.
Taryn's innovative 'What’s in my tee?' program revealed the hidden ingredients in our t-shirts, helping people understand the dangers of pesticides, heavy metals, and harmful dyes in everyday fabrics. But it doesn’t stop there. The conversation explores the life cycle of clothing, including the troubling reality that most donated clothes end up overseas rather than being reused locally. Listeners will also gain valuable tips on becoming 'fabric literate', learning to identify and avoid harmful materials.
From understanding the importance of fabric brands to exploring crop waste fabric and the second-hand market, this episode is packed with practical advice for anyone looking to make more conscious clothing choices. If you're curious about how your fashion choices affect the planet and want to learn how to shop smarter, this episode is a must-listen.
