Every year in the EU about 5.8 million tons of textile products are thrown away. Every European buys twenty-six kilos of clothes a year and throws away eleven after wearing them just 7-8 times.
Only 13% of them are reused or recycled. Slow Fiber aims to disseminate knowledge of the impact that textile products have on the environment, on workers in the supply chain and on consumer health to spread a new ethics and culture of dressing and furnishing. The new network starts from a reflection: we buy too much and waste more than ever.
