The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world and produces 10% of all carbon emissions worldwide. 5.2% of our waste in landfills is textiles. Great fashion should never go to waste, but what if fashion adopted garments made from waste?
In the UAE Year of Sustainability, Times Clothing has embarked on a transformative journey towards sustainability. In a region renowned for luxury fashion and a booming textile industry, we are proud to lead the way in introducing sustainable fabrics like organic cotton and recycled polyester to the UAE market and the Middle East. Here are the factors that set us apart:
Vision of Sustainability – In a fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the environmental consequences of our choices. We recognize the urgency of sustainable practices in the fashion industry. Our vision is not only to provide exceptional clothing but to do so while preserving our planet. This is why we’ve made a conscious decision to introduce organic cotton and recycled polyester to our product range.
Organic Cotton: Cultivating a Greener Tomorrow – Organic cotton is at the core of our sustainability efforts. By choosing organic cotton, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint. Here’s how:
Chemical-Free Farming: Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in cleaner water, healthier soil, and reduced impact on the ecosystem.
Water Conservation: Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton production uses less water – a critical consideration in water-scarce regions like the Middle East.
Supporting Biodiversity: Organic farming practices promote biodiversity, safeguarding the delicate balance of local ecosystems.
3. Recycled Polyester: Turning Plastic Waste into Fashion – Recycled polyester is another crucial addition to our sustainable fabric collection. By using this innovative material, we’re helping combat plastic pollution and minimize resource consumption:
Plastic Waste Diversion: Recycled polyester is created by repurposing post-consumer plastic bottles, helping reduce the environmental burden of plastic pollution.
Resource Efficiency: As opposed to producing virgin polyester, recycling polyester consumes fewer resources and energy. This aligns with our commitment to a circular economy.
4. Advantages for Our Customers – Our decision to incorporate sustainable fabrics is not just about environmental responsibility; it is about enhancing the experience of our customers:
Quality Assurance: Organic cotton and recycled polyester are known for their quality, offering comfort and durability that meets or exceeds traditional fabrics.
Ethical Choices: Customers in the UAE and the Middle East increasingly appreciate ethical and eco-conscious fashion, and our sustainable fabrics cater to this growing demand.
Community and Employee Pride: Our sustainability efforts create a sense of pride among our employees and instill a sense of belonging within our community.
