Is it really more sustainable to transport a pair of denim to have them mended or repaired instead of buying a new pair?
The important thing is to make sure garments can be used as long as possible. Over 80% of a garment’s Co2 emissions comes from the production process*. Some research says that if we, instead of buying new fashion, use what we already have twice as long we basically reduce the climactic impact by halve**.
*Textilsmart (Rise) **On a Swedish national level, the climate impact reduction is 49% if each garment is used twice as long according to study by Sandin et al., 2019.
You claim that prolonging the life of a garment will significantly reduce the environmental/climate impact. How?
For example, in Sweden, if each garment is used twice as long, the climate impact would be decreased by almost 50%*.
