Plastic? Not fantastic\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>

by Zoe Leigh in collaboration with Teemill\u2026<\/strong><\/p>

Our products are made from plants, not plastic\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>

\"iqlxeyfunppldq5jifv0ws1k4ckyoi5bzltdautcborvkrqs.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=auto\"An estimated 14% of all plastic pollution comes from the apparel industry and 81% of that waste comes from synthetic clothing fibres specifically. These clothes shed microplastics during washing as well as drying, wearing and disposal, leaking plastic fibres into nature, where they don't belong. The answer? Making clothing from natural fibres instead, and designing them to be circular. This means that at the end of their life, they go back to be remanufactured into new products rather than going to landfill. By using circular organic cotton in our shop, we bypass all the issues with microplastic pollution from clothing. And by shopping with us, you are supporting a better way forward for fashion. <\/span><\/p>

This is just one reason I chose to use Teemill when launching by Zoe Leigh. Whats more, because the product use natural fibres they feel not only great on your skin but on your conscience too! <\/span><\/p>

Less than 1% of clothing is actually recycled. 99% ends up in landfill or incineration. <\/p>

There\u2019s enough textiles landfilled alone each year to fill up the entire Sydney harbour estuary. And where nearly two thirds of all clothing is made from plastic materials, the fast fashion system is one of the biggest threats to the survival of the biological systems human life depends on. It calls for a total redesign of the way clothes are made and that isn\u2019t as difficult as it sounds. <\/p>

Our products are made from plants, not plastic.<\/strong> And as well as using natural organic materials, this includes post consumer recycled organic cotton. Combined with renewable energy it\u2019s clear that low waste, low impact options exist. All we need to do is choose well.<\/p>

Like many I\u2019ve started experiencing the classic January panic and my inner critic (AKA self-doubt tannoy) has definitely got louder, as I try to reset for work this season.
