Uno de los principios fundamentales de Somos Martina es el de crear conciencia en las personas por medio de la adquisición de nuestros productos. La idea de traer los calzones absorbentes a Colombia, nació de reconocer una una enorme necesidad de cambio para cuidar nuestro planeta y reducir la contaminación ambiental. Las cifras de desechos que las mujeres generan para su higiene menstrual, aumentan día a día. Las toallas higiénicas tardan entre 500 y 800 años en degradarse y una mujer usará entre 10.000 y 13.000 toallas higiénicas en su vida, está en nuestras manos reducir este desperdicio y al usar toallas reutilizables podemos comenzar a hacerlo. Sabemos que el momento de actuar es ahora, por eso en Somos Martina buscamos que una a una podamos poner un granito de arena y aportar a que vivamos en un mundo mejor. Nuestro esfuerzo se ha visto reflejado de la mejor manera, obtuvimos el Sello de moda sostenible Nivel Plata y esto nos emociona mucho porque es una muestra más de que cada paso ¡vale la pena!. Esta es una etiqueta ambiental voluntaria que se entrega a las empresas del sector textil y demuestra compromiso ambiental por medio de las acciones realizadas; entre ellas están: ofrecer información clara sobre los impactos ambientales del producto, incluir utilería biodegradable y productos reciclables. El objetivo de este sello se extiende no sólo al ámbito ambiental sino al social, a las motivaciones en la creación del producto y a un manejo responsable del mismo. on este gran paso, Somos Martina se consolida como la segunda organización del sector de la moda en obtener el sello en esta categoría y se ubica como una organización líder en sostenibilidad. Todo esto es gracias a ustedes, por creer en Somos Martina y andar a paso firme a nuestro lado. Nuestro compromiso seguirá siendo con que muchas personas, inclusive las comunidades más apartadas, adquieran el conocimiento necesario para que su higiene menstrual no esté mediada por un gasto innecesario de productos, sino que escuchemos a nuestro cuerpo, podamos adquirir productos como los calzones absorbentes e incluso bordar nuestras propias toallas reutilizables. Seguiremos con nuestra labor y con nuestros talleres a lo largo del país, llevando un profundo amor por lo que hacemos y por cambiar un poco el mundo en el que vivimos. ¡Gracias por ser parte de este importante paso Martinas! Ya saben que al adquirir nuestros productos, tienen la seguridad de que les estamos brindando unos calzones amigables con el medio ambiente y con las personas que están detrás de su producción.
Textiles UK's Plymouth University's £1.6 mn project targets green fashion 16 Aug '23 3 min read Pic: Shutterstock/Black Salmon Insights Plymouth University's £1.6 million project, FFN+, aims to decarbonise the textile industry by embedding environmental sciences at its core. Funded by UKRI, FFN+ builds on extensive sustainability research, including studies on microfibres in wastewater. The initiative focuses on creating systematic, circular, and sustainable principles in fashion. UK-based University of Plymouth’s £1.6 million project—The Future Fibres Network+ (FFN+)—aims to drive the decarbonisation of the fashion and textile industry. The initiative will draw together researchers and industry experts to embed environmental sciences at the heart of the fashion and textile sectors.Funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), FFN+ will build on the university’s extensive research into the sustainability of the fashion industry. That has included the first research to highlight how microfibres are released into wastewater through the laundry process, and how mechanical devices can prevent their release.Plymouth University's £1.6 million project, FFN+, aims to decarbonise the textile industry by embedding environmental sciences at its core. Funded by UKRI, FFN+ builds on extensive sustainability research, including studies on microfibres in wastewater. The initiative focuses on creating systematic, circular, and sustainable principles in fashion.The university has also led research that found clothing fibres everywhere from the slopes of Mount Everest to the River Ganges and the deepest oceans. It has also worked to influence national policies around sustainability in the fashion industry, contributing to government reviews and debates on the issue.The FFN+ project is being led by the University of Exeter, and also involves researchers from the University of the Arts London, University of Blackburn, University of Leeds, and University of Huddersfield.The FFN+ project will build the critical mass of transdisciplinary expertise, and methodologies needed to establish systematic, circular, and sustainable principles as the norm. A key objective is to counter the current siloed disciplinary approach that exacerbates the complexity of the environmental challenge. The FFN+ consortium is uniquely placed to address this issue, operating across established networks of expertise spanning environment, design, STEM, and humanities capabilities across academic, industrial, public, and private organisations, communities, and networks.“Our vision is to embed environmental sciences at the heart of the fashion and textiles sector. Building FFN+ is a first step towards transforming the fashion industry towards a new, low carbon future. We’re excited to be bringing together all sorts of expertise in business, design, manufacturing, and the environment to achieve this. It’s no longer good enough to design textiles and garments without thinking about what happens to them at the end of their life. We need to design in sustainability from the start. This could include manufacturing smarter fabrics or garments that don’t cause harm to the environment during their manufacture, use, and disposal, but could also include developing more circular, less wasteful supply chains or changing people’s perceptions and attitudes to the clothes they wear,” said project lead professor Tamara Galloway, who teaches ecotoxicology at the University of Exeter.The funding is part of the £6 million awarded to three teams of researchers by the Natural Environment Research Council, Arts and Humanities Research Council, and Innovate UK. It is a key part of UKRI’s £15 million Circular Fashion Programme. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (NB) More Textiles News - United Kingdom...

We explore why fashion matters, delving into its historical, cultural, economic, and environmental dimensions to change your mindset
The fashion industry is one of the world's largest and most influential industries, with a global value of over $2 trillion. However, the industry's rapid growth and reliance on fast fashion have led to significant negative impacts on the environment and people. The slow fashion movement has emerged as a sustainable and ethical alternative, promoting conscious consumerism, quality over quantity, and fair labor practices. In this post, we will explore the principles of slow fashion, its benefits, and the challenges it faces, as well as related concepts and movements. The Principles of Slow FashionSlow fashion creates a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry by promoting conscious consumerism and responsible production practices. Emphasis on quality over quantity Slow fashion encourages consumers to invest in high-quality clothing that is designed to last rather than constantly buying cheap, disposable clothing. This reduces waste and promotes sustainability by reducing the amount of clothing that needs to be produced and consumed. Use of sustainable materials Slow fashion promotes using sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fabrics. These materials are eco-friendly and do not harm the environment during production. Promoting fair labor practices Slow fashion emphasizes the importance of fair labor practices that ensure workers are paid fairly, work in safe conditions, and are treated with respect. This helps to create a more equitable and ethical fashion industry. Focus on longevity and versatility Slow fashion garments are designed to be timeless, versatile, and durable, meaning they can be worn for years and still look good. They are not created to be worn for just one season or a single event. Support for local production Slow fashion favors local production, which reduces the carbon footprint of clothing by minimizing transportation emissions. This also supports local economies and preserves traditional craft techniques. Encouragement of customization and personalization Slow fashion encourages customization and personalization of garments, allowing the wearer to have a more emotional connection with their clothing and to feel more invested in it. The Benefits of Slow Fashion1) Environmental sustainability Fast fashion is a major contributor to environmental damage, including water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste. Slow fashion, on the other hand, promotes sustainable and eco-friendly practices that reduce the fashion industry's negative impact on the environment. 2) Ethical labor practices Fast fashion often relies on exploitative labor practices, including low wages and poor working conditions, to produce clothing quickly and cheaply. Slow fashion, on the other hand, emphasizes fair labor practices that protect the rights and well-being of workers. 3) Quality and longevity Slow fashion encourages the production of high-quality, durable clothing that is designed to last for years. This reduces the amount of clothing that needs to be produced and consumed, reducing the fashion industry's environmental impact. 4) Conscious consumerism Slow fashion promotes a more mindful approach to fashion consumption, encouraging consumers to invest in high-quality pieces they will wear for a long time rather than constantly buying cheap, disposable clothing. 5) Local economies Slow fashion often favors local production, which supports local economies and helps to preserve traditional craft techniques. Challenges to Slow FashionWhile slow fashion offers a more sustainable and ethical approach to fashion production and consumption, several challenges make it difficult to implement on a large scale. High costs Slow fashion often involves: Higher costs than fast fashion Emphasizing high-quality materials Ethical production methods Fair labor practices This can make it difficult for some consumers to afford sustainable and ethical clothing. Limited availability Sustainable and ethical fashion brands may have limited availability, making it difficult for consumers to find clothing that aligns with their values. This can also make it difficult for sustainable brands to compete with fast fashion brands that have a wider distribution network. Consumer demandWhile consumer interest in sustainably and ethically is growing, many consumers still prioritize low prices and trendy styles over sustainability and ethics. This can make it difficult for sustainable brands to compete with fast fashion brands that offer cheap and disposable clothing. Production challengesProducing sustainable and ethical clothing often requires more time, effort, and resources than producing fast fashion clothing. This can make it challenging for sustainable brands to scale their production to meet growing demand. Lack of regulationThe fashion industry is largely unregulated, making enforcing ethical and sustainable practices difficult. This can make it challenging for sustainable brands to differentiate themselves from less ethical competitors. Overcoming the ChallengesTo overcome these challenges and promote a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry, individuals, brands, and policymakers can take several steps, including:Increasing awareness Increasing awareness of the negative impact of the fashion industry and the benefits of sustainable and ethical fashion is essential. This can be done through education campaigns, social media, and other forms of outreach. Making sustainable and ethical fashion more accessible Making sustainable and ethical fashion more accessible by lowering prices, increasing availability, and improving distribution channels can help to increase demand and make it easier for consumers to make ethical choices. Advocating for regulations and standards Advocating for regulations and standards that promote sustainable and ethical fashion can help to level the playing field and ensure that all brands are held to the same standards. Encouraging collaborationEncouraging collaboration between brands, policymakers, and consumers can help to create a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. Brands can work together to share best practices and promote sustainable and ethical fashion, while policymakers can work with the industry to create regulations and standards that support sustainability and ethics. Supporting innovationSupporting innovation sustainably and ethically can help create new technologies and production methods that reduce the industry's environmental impact and promote fair labor practices. Related Concepts and MovementsSome several related concepts and movements are closely linked to the slow fashion movement, including: Circular fashion: Circular fashion is a concept that emphasizes a closed-loop system in which materials and products are reused, repurposed, or recycled rather than discarded. It aims to reduce waste and create a more sustainable, circular fashion economy. Conscious consumerism: Conscious consumerism is a movement that encourages consumers to make more mindful and ethical choices about what they buy and consume. It is closely linked to the slow fashion movement, emphasizing buying less, choosing well, and prioritizing sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility. Ethical fashion: Ethical fashion is a concept that emphasizes fair labor practices and social responsibility in the fashion industry. It includes the use of sustainable materials and production methods and promotes transparency and accountability in the supply chain. Sustainable fashion: Sustainable fashion is a concept that emphasizes the use of environmentally friendly materials and production methods in the fashion industry. It aims to reduce the industry's negative impact on the environment while promoting fair labor practices and social responsibility. Minimalism: Minimalism is a lifestyle movement that emphasizes living with less and prioritizing quality over quantity. It is closely linked to the slow fashion movement, as it encourages consumers to buy less and choose well, focusing on quality, durability, and versatility in their clothing choices. Final ThoughtsThe slow fashion movement is a response to the negative impact of fast fashion on the environment and people. It promotes conscious consumerism, quality over quantity, and fair labor practices. It offers several benefits over fast fashion, including environmental sustainability, ethical labor practices, quality and longevity, conscious consumerism, and support for local economies. However, slow fashion faces several challenges, including high costs, limited availability, consumer demand, production challenges, and lack of regulation. Overcoming these challenges will require a concerted effort from individuals, brands, and policymakers to create a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. By increasing awareness, making sustainable and ethical fashion more accessible, advocating for regulations and standards, encouraging collaboration, and supporting innovation, we can create a fashion industry that prioritizes sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility. Related concepts and movements, such as circular fashion, conscious consumerism, ethical fashion, sustainable fashion, and minimalism, are also important in promoting a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. As consumers, we can make a difference by making more mindful and ethical choices about what we buy and consume and supporting brands and policies prioritizing sustainability and ethics.
