Sustainability
DID YOU KNOW!?
In Australia, Children's clothing contributes to more than 200,000 tonnes of clothing which end up in land fill per year and the average Australian disposes on average, 23kg of clothing to landfill each year.
The fashion industry is one of the highest polluting industries and is responsible for an estimated 10% of global C02 emissions. Australian's are the world's second largest consumers of textiles, buying on average, 56 items of clothing yearly, most of which are made from non-sustainable, non-durable materials. As a result, textile waste has become one of the largest contributors to Australia's waste problem.
OUR COMMITMENT
The Little Wardrobe Hire is committed to doing its part to try and reduce our imprint on this earth and contribute to a sustainable future. We partner with likeminded businesses who have the same vision, we use eco friendly compostable post bags, all of our packaging is recyclable and the core of our business model supports the notion of sustainability.
Clothing hire plays a significant role in promoting sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry. The fashion sector is notorious for its resource-intensive processes, from raw material extraction to manufacturing and transportation. Clothing hire extends the lifespan of garments, allowing them to be shared and enjoyed by multiple individuals before being returned. This reduces the demand for constant new production, which in turn decreases the consumption of raw materials, energy, and water resources. Additionally, clothing hire encourages a shift away from the "fast fashion" mindset that promotes disposable clothing, ultimately contributing to lower rates of clothing disposal and textile waste. By encouraging the reuse and circulation of clothing items, clothing hire fosters a more responsible and conscious approach to fashion consumption, aligning with the principles of circular economy and promoting a more sustainable future. Here at The Little Wardrobe Hire, we are proud to be contributing to a sustainable future.
