Goals of To'hum and Circular Clothing
Reducing the Fashion Waste
In 2019 alone, 208 Million Pounds of fashion waste was created by disposable clothing. With the "Circularity" model we have adopted as To'hum, we want to stand against these fashion wastes and support sustainable life.
Reducing the Greenhouse Gas Emmisions
United Nations Climate Change News states, the fashion industry contributes around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions due to its long supply chains and energy intensive production; more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Thanks to the model we have adopted, we are adopting to reduce air pollution by reducing the function of this chain.
Reducing the Cotton Production
Quantis found that over 90% of the emissions for apparel come from four activities: dyeing and finishing, fabric preparation, yarn preparation, and fiber production. Therefore, in the model we have adopted, the need for dyeing and cotton will decrease, as the clothes will remain in circulation.
We will achieve circularity in fashion industry, together.
