Changes

An important part concerning the total environmental impact of a textile product consist of how long the product can be used before it is worn-out, how the product is cared for and finally what is done with it when it is no longer usable for its original purpose. The consumer use phase of a garment or product can significantly contribute to its overall environmental influence. While consumer care and washing may seem out of the company’s control, using effective product design and marketing to educate consumers could play a significant role in affecting the influence that a garment or product could have on the environment.
