Our Responsibility
A Note on Sustainability: Vintage Fashion and Our Shared Future
At RERACKED, we see such beauty and magic in vintage treasures and pieces of our past -- the creations that already exist and hold stories and meaning. Embracing vintage fashion isn't simply a style choice..
It's a conscious decision to celebrate the past while protecting our planet's future.
The Impact of Vintage Fashion
The fashion industry is a major contributor to environmental damage. By choosing vintage, you're helping to reduce:
- Water Consumption: It takes an average of 2,700 liters of water to produce a single new t-shirt. Vintage clothing requires no additional water usage.
- Carbon Emissions: The fashion industry generates about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Extending the life of clothes through vintage significantly reduces carbon footprint.
- Textile Waste: Millions of tons of textile waste end up in landfills each year. By choosing vintage, you're helping to keep clothing out of the waste stream.
Sustainability and Transparency at Our Core
Our passion for vintage fashion and coffee transparency reflects our commitment to a more sustainable world. Every piece in our collection carries a unique story, and by giving it a new life, you're becoming part of that story. Thank you for showing care for the planet we share.
We encourage you to find ways to embrace sustainability in your own life. Whether it's through fashion choices, reducing waste, or supporting ethical businesses, every effort makes a difference.
Together, we can create a more beautiful and sustainable future.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
