Fashion has a huge impact not only on the clothing industry, but also on culture and society. However, this impact is not limited to the beauty and style that is often in the spotlight; the environmental and ethical impact of the fashion industry is becoming a growing concern. To one of these concerns, sustainability, and in particular the use of deadstock yarns, offers a remarkable solution.
What is Deadstock?
Deadstock is a term that actually has two different meanings. On the one hand, it refers to products that are no longer available or no longer for sale to consumers, while on the other hand, as a term used in the textile industry, it represents fabrics and yarns that are not used or sold. In this article, we will focus on deadstock yarns in terms of sustainability in fashion.
Deadstock Yarns: Fashion's Sustainable Friend
Sustainability efforts in the fashion industry aim to reduce waste, conserve natural resources and minimize environmental impact in a variety of ways. Deadstock yarns are an effective tool to support these sustainability goals.
Waste Reduction
Deadstock yarns are yarns that have not been used in textile production and are often destined to be wasted. Using these yarns means reducing and utilizing an enormous amount of waste. These yarns, which are wasted in the production process, ensure efficient use of resources in terms of fashion sustainability.
Conservation of Natural Resources
The production of new yarns requires the use of natural resources. The production of natural fibers such as cotton, flax and wool uses natural resources such as water, energy and soil. Deadstock yarns contribute to the conservation of natural resources by enabling these resources to be reused and existing resources to be used more efficiently.
Energy and Water Saving
The production of new yarns increases energy and water use. The use of deadstock yarns saves energy and water when the production of new yarns is unnecessary. This reduces the environmental impact of fashion.
Timeless and Durable Designs
Crafting with Deadstock yarns goes against fast consumption habits. Designs made with these yarns are long-lasting and timeless. This strengthens the understanding of durable and long-lasting design in the fashion industry.
The First Step to Sustainable Fashion: Using Deadstock Yarns
Deadstock yarns are an effective tool used to support sustainability in the fashion industry. Their use supports sustainability principles such as waste reduction, conservation of natural resources, energy and water savings, and long-lasting designs.
Fashion brands and consumers should encourage the use of deadstock yarns and take steps in this direction.
