Upcycling for the Planet: Why Nudnik Partners with Arbor
At Nudnik, we strive to be conscious of our environmental impact. That's why we've partnered with Arbor to show customers how we are drastically reducing our carbon footprint by upcycling. On each of our product pages, you can find handy stats that clearly demonstrate how upcycling is superior to recycling and traditional manufacturing of clothing. It's important to us to show you that not only is upcycling good for using up the textile waste that the fashion industry leaves behind, but it is also vastly better for the planet than new clothing. Let's take a closer look at why this is so.
The Impact of Textile Waste on the Environment
Traditional methods of producing clothing requires vast amounts of energy, water and chemicals which have a significant impact on the environment. Studies have found that up to 10% of climate change emissions come from textiles production - with large amounts produced in countries such as China and India where regulations are less strict than elsewhere. Furthermore, over 85% of discarded textiles end up in landfill or are incinerated annually - creating air pollution and exacerbating global warming. By opting for sustainable materials such as recycled fibers, we can reduce our contribution to this problem significantly.
Benefits of Upcycling
Upcycling has numerous benefits over traditional manufacturing methods when it comes to sustainability. Firstly, it helps reduce unnecessary waste since its purpose is to give otherwise discarded materials a new life through repurposing them into something else entirely or by reusing them in another way. This process keeps items out of landfills while also saving resources like water, energy and chemicals which would have been used in creating something new from scratch. Additionally, upcycled products generally cost less than their counterparts made with virgin materials due to having fewer production costs associated with them since they involve reusing existing resources rather than buying all-new raw materials for production purposes. Finally, many people find upcycled products interesting and attractive because they tend to be one-of-a-kind creations which adds an extra layer of uniqueness and luxury when compared with ordinary store bought items.
At Nudnik, we understand how vital it is for us to protect our planet from further damage caused by consumption habits - particularly those related to fashion industry waste streams like textiles production emissions and landfill dumping issues associated with discarded clothes. We believe that investing in eco-friendly solutions such as upcycling is essential if we want our planet's future generations to enjoy a healthy environment free from hazardous pollutants caused by unsustainable practices such as those still employed by some large scale manufacturers today. Our metrics clearly show how upcycled clothing is vastly better for the planet then new clothing - making it an easy choice when shopping sustainably!
