From our clothes and glasses to the water bottles and bags we carry, the choices we make about how we present ourselves to the world say a lot about who we are and what we value. And according to recent research from the Shelton Group, one-third of Americans want to be seen as someone who buys green products. What makes fashion green has everything to do with what it’s made of. While much of the focus on making fashion more sustainable is on end-of-life impacts (148 metric tons of waste per year by 2030), we also need to “green” inputs, using sustainable materials to minimize catastrophic impacts. of unsustainable agriculture, logging and logging and pollution of waterways. These inputs must also be sustainable to ensure the longevity of the final products. Glasses cross the lines between fashion and functionality, making materials very critical.
