The world's clothing system is simply no longer working, annual clothing production is over 100 billion units and only a tiny fraction of these clothes are ever recycled. Over 80% of the world's water is contaminated with micro plastics – 30% of which comes from clothing. The clothing and textile industry creates more green-house gases than global shipping and aviation combined. Although it takes 3 years of a person's drinking water to make a single cotton t-shirt, most clothing ends up in landfill releasing over 3 times its weight in green-house gases as it decomposes. Meanwhile virgin resources continue to be extracted to feed the industry.After a decade of individual waste diversion and reuse projects The Formary® founders realised that the only way we can achieve our vision is through systems' change, so we created UsedFULLY®.UsedFULLY® is a low carbon clothing system where textiles are utilised to their full potential through technology and cutting-edge research. UsedFULLY's mission is to radically reduce the environmental impacts of what we wear, by building a circular system for clothing and textiles in Aotearoa. Working together with industry partners, we are driving the reuse of unwanted clothing and textiles, preventing them from going to landfill, and instead creating a circular system that fully utilises this untapped resource.To find out more we invite you to visit our website usedfully.com
