AFFORDABLE & CLE​AN ENERGY

Story Wear prioritizes the concept of “zero waste,” which includes zero waste of resources as well as zero waste of energy. In most fashion and clothing industries, the process of production requires large quantities of water and labor. Here’s a few facts to set the stage for discussion. 79 trillion liters of water are consumed each year to produce fabric. The fashion industry is responsible for 10 percent of all carbon footprints globally. 20% of global waste water release belongs to chemical treatment generated by fashion industries. 500 thousand tons of microfiber is produced​ annually, which is equivalent to 50 billion plastic bottles. With that said, in order to reduce waste while raising public awareness on pollution of clothing production, Story Wear collects used fabric from jeans and denim products, giving the outfit a new life and story.

Industry, Innovation, and Infrausture

The modern sustainable fashion industry is still in the stage of developing and improving. As techniques mature and sustainable methods increase in number, plenty of innovative materials and new creations have arrived in the world of fashion. A good example would be pineapple leather, a waterproof material new to the industry. This works by matting fibers of pineapple leaves together to create a durable and organic material.

Reduced Inequalities

Globally, more than 80% of all garment labor are women. In the document of the International Labor Rights Forum, titled Our Voices, Our Safety, interviews with 70 garment workers working in a Bangladesh factory show that male managers frequently use their authority to suppress and threaten the lives of female workers. As everyone might know, individuals with mental disabilities live in a world full of disadvantages. Story Wear collaborates with “Taoyuan City Xuan Yi New Knowledge Care Association,” providing a job for the ones with disabilities as well as promoting equality between all communities. Not only does this method provide a living wage for disabled workers, but also guarantees hand-craft labor.
