As we head into Earth Month this April, fashion brands around the world are gearing up to push their sustainability claims to the masses. We’ll hear about new technologies in textiles, reducing carbon emissions and waste, upcycling, recycling, and everything in between. There will be tips and posturing about which brands are doing it right and which ones are doing it wrong. Importantly, brands that have taken the necessary steps toward certification for their sustainability claims will get an added dose of attention as they tout their sustainable badges of honor.
