For us sustainability in the fashion industry is more than just a trend; it's an urgent necessity. It is an imperative that we incorporate in all our products, processes and activities aiming to achieve carbon-neutral fashion based on equality, social justice, animal welfare, and ecological integrity.
Why is Sustainable Fashion Important?
1. Reduced Waste Generation
The world is on track to witness a significant surge in municipal solid waste production, with projections indicating that it could reach an astounding 3.4 billion metric tons by the year 2050. This alarming increase can be attributed to various factors, such as shifting consumer shopping habits, rapid urbanization, and the relentless growth of the global population.
At Royal Garden, we are relentless in our efforts to combat this disturbing trend. Our approach to tackling this problem is based on the creation of high-quality garments made from natural materials or recycled and durable synthetic materials. Our mission is clear: we want to develop products that are meticulously designed to stand the test of time, last a lifetime and significantly reduce the need for constant disposal and thus reduce waste generation.
By championing sustainability through our product offerings, we strive to make a meaningful contribution to the reduction of municipal solid waste, while also encouraging a shift in consumer preferences towards more environment-conscious choices. Through these efforts, we hope to pave the way for a more sustainable future, where quality and longevity take precedence over disposable fashion trends.
2. Fair Wages and Healthy Work Environment
In contrast to many fashion companies that produce inexpensive clothing and release multiple collections annually, often sourcing their products from developing countries where employees receive meager wages and work in hazardous conditions, Royal Garden follows a profoundly different path.
In our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, we prioritize the well-being of the individuals who contribute to our products. We firmly oppose the exploitative practices that persist in the industry. Instead, we have established partnerships with small-scale cooperatives of farmers, artisanal manufacturers, and family-owned workshops. These collaborations ensure a secure workplace and equitable compensation for all those involved in the production process.
At Royal Garden, we believe in the importance of dignified working conditions and fair wages. By working closely with our partners and fostering transparent relationships, we aim to uplift communities and empower individuals. Our approach stands in stark contrast to the recurring allegations of worker exploitation and child labor that have plagued many other fashion brands.
We are committed to setting a positive example within the industry, demonstrating that fashion can be both stylish and ethical, benefiting not only our customers but also the communities and artisans who contribute to the creation of our products.
3. Reduced Carbon Dioxide and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
At Royal Garden, we are deeply committed to minimizing our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions through our sustainable practices. Our fashion products are crafted using biodegradable components sourced from natural fibers or recycled materials. What sets our approach apart is our commitment to treating these materials without the use of harmful pesticides or fertilizers.
By opting for biodegradable or recycled materials, we not only reduce the strain on natural resources but also diminish the environmental impact associated with conventional production. These materials inherently require less energy and water throughout their lifecycle, contributing to a significant reduction in overall carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas output.
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond creating beautiful and durable fashion pieces; it's about making responsible choices at every stage of production. By selecting eco-friendly materials and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals, we aim to play a part in preserving the planet and mitigating the effects of climate change. With each garment we create, we strive to make a positive difference for both the environment and future generations.
