BLACK FRIDAY 23
The average person consumes approximately
15kg of clothing each year totaling up to over 1 tonne in your lifetime.*
Black Friday encourages people to buy things that they don’t need promoting overconsumption.
If we continue at this pace, by 2032 we can expect +305% growth in global Black Friday sales
Every thoughtless click on “add to cart” adds to your growing pile, but more importantly, it adds to the planet’s growing mountains of discarded clothing.**
It is estimated that fast fashion items are worn less than 5 times before being thrown away. ***
73% of discarded clothing is sent to landfill or incinerated
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting as far as generating CO2 emissions and water consumption.****
Add something positive to the Earth by raising awareness and being part of the solution.
It's time to break the habit, not the planet. It’s time to add less to the cart and more to Earth. Join Ecoalf this Recycling Black Friday in redefining how we consume, in taking responsibility for our choices, and in saving the only planet we call home. Let's make conscious choices and be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
