#7 Eco-tips, ocean pollution due to fashion

Through this series of articles, we will offer you each week insight into the ecological impact of clothing production around the world. With LO NEEL, we are committed to the planet, our Mother Earth which welcomes and shelters us. We refuse to participate, directly or indirectly, in its pollution, degradation and destruction.

It seemed important to us to denounce abusive practices but also to propose lasting solutions on a daily basis. We hope this information will give you a better understanding of the underbelly of mass production in the fashion industry.

The LO NEEL team also supports you in raising individual ecological awareness, by offering each article in this series eco-tips to follow on a daily basis. By following them, this will allow you to behave and consume more healthily and ethically.

Here is eco-tip #7!

85% of human debris on beaches is microfibers.

Solution: choose clothes with natural or recycled fibers.

 

Through LO NEEL pieces, we offer a plurality of innovative materials. They are all natural or recycled. We ensured that they were produced in a healthy and ecological way. Thus, the fibers that make up our pieces are organic and cannot, therefore, pollute the planet. For example, our ASCILLA dress was made from soy fiber and is GOTS certified. Our PINEAPPLE SILVER jacket has been produced from pineapple leather, itself made from the leaves of the pineapple which have been recovered. So by recycling waste, superb materials can be created. Finally, our LALY dress is made from viscose, which is actually deadwood. Viscose material is also known as vegetable cashmere thanks to its exceptional softness.

We believe that summer is the most dangerous season for the environment. Indeed, global warming is causing numerous droughts and fires. However, what we are most afraid of is the behavior of vacationers. Plastic bottles and packaging must be banned at all costs. Every year thousands or even millions of these objects are thrown into the sea. These actions contribute to the slow but lasting destruction of the marine ecosystem. We believe it is necessary to make behaviors more responsible. To do this, we must put respect for nature back at the center of education.

Several environmental associations exist, campaign and act for the planet. We advise you to take an interest in the work and actions of Greenpeace , undoubtedly the most famous ecological association in the world. If you would like to volunteer for part of the summer, take an interest in the Surfrider association which mobilizes people of all ages. Throughout the year, they organize beach sweeps to clean them of abandoned waste.
