Our Purpose: Reducing the Fabric Mountain

Fast Fashion Has a Dirty Secret

Every year, over 92 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills across the globe. That’s the equivalent of a truckload of clothing being dumped every second. If piled together, this waste could form a mountain larger than Mount Everest—every single year.

And it’s only getting worse. Driven by fast fashion trends, fabrics are produced faster, used less, and discarded more.

Why It Matters

These mountains of fabric waste aren’t just unsightly—they’re dangerous. They:

  • Take hundreds of years to decompose
  • Release toxic dyes and microplastics into soil and water
  • Contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions

This isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a global emergency.
