Modan praktika berdeak eta etikoak garrantzitsuak dira munduari kalte kaltegarririk eragin gabe haietaz gozatu nahi badugu.. Moda jasangarriaren beharraren premia perspektiban jartzen du modaren industriaren ardura izan zelako 35% gure ozeanoetako mikroplastiko guztien artean 2017. To minimize the harm caused to the environment through fashion, you need to understand what substances hurt our environment and why we should avoid them. Here’s a look at some of them.
Plastic in water, polluting fish habitat.
NYLON
Nylon is made synthetically to be used as raw material for the textile and cosmetics industry. Its synthesis releases nitrous oxide as a by-product. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas known to deplete the earth’s ozone layer.
Gainera, clothes made of nylon release microplastics when washed, contaminating the water bodies that supply water to crops and farmlands. They also enter the ocean and harm marine life. Microplastics inevitably enter the food chain and become a health hazard.
RAYON
Rayon is called an environmentally friendly replacement for silk as it is made from trees that are (relatively) renewable. This should make it a sustainable material for fashion.
Hala ere, the raw material for rayon is wood pulp which has led to the clearing of natural forests to make space for trees that can provide that raw material. CNBC shared a disheartening report on clearing a natural rainforest in Indonesia in 2021. The incident disturbed a community of people and the wildlife they depended on for food.
ACRYLIC
Acrylic is far from being an ideal substance for sustainable fashion. It is also a synthetic fiber that is non-biodegradable, which means it will stay in landfills for a long time. Acrylic production also releases harmful chemicals that are hazardous to the health of workers and everyone exposed.

INORGANIC COTTON
While cotton may be a natural raw material for textiles, the high consumer demand has increased its production unsustainably. 1800 gallons worth of cotton is cultivated for just a pair of jeans. Excessive use of insecticides and pesticides on cotton fields harms the soil’s ecosystem. This makes cotton production an unsuitable process for making fashion sustainable.
POLYESTER
Large amounts of fuel and water go into the synthesis of virgin polyester, a common substance in most fast fashion items. It is a non-biodegradable substance and will stay in the environment for a long time.
There are a few other materials, such as fur and leather made from animal skins, that raise ethical questions on the treatment of animals and release huge amounts of methane into the environment.
