Prefer recyclable or biodegradable material:
Opt for eco-certified products, e.g. the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
For logistics, go for local sourcing.
For clothes production, choose manufacturers with social-consciousness: - safe work environment to prevent work accidents or illness- employees wellbeing- ethical work conditions (minimum salaries levels, no forced labor, no child work...).
