A recent study led by Stephen G. Wiedemann (published in Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2023) revealed some insights into the environmental impact of our clothing choices.
If we wear our favourite natural fibre garments more often – imagine a 50% increase – we will have a positive impact on climate change.
The study found that we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by extending the lifespan of our clothes, especially those made of sustainable natural materials (for example leather). It turns out that the environmental impact of all-natural fibres becomes even more impressive when we look at how they fare compared to new clothes made from petroleum-based materials.
So, what’s the takeaway? Choosing quality, durable fashion pieces made from natural fibres not only gives your wardrobe a stylish look but also plays a key role in fights against climate change. It’s a win-win! Let’s make sure every outfit counts for the planet!

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
