In order to meet the SCAP 2020 targets, signatories must focus on increasing the use of lower impact fibres; increasing product durability; helping consumers care for clothing and reducing waste to landfill (through WRAP's consumer campaign Love Your Clothes) and, working with supply chains to reduce waste arisings, the release said.
In just two years retailers, brands and organisations from across the clothing supply chain have reduced water impacts by a significant 12.5 per cent#
To help signatories and supporters take action WRAP provides a range of guidance and tools for each area. Given the importance of embedding durability WRAP is about to publish industry guidance entitled 'Sustainable Clothing Guide'. This is a practical how-to guide aimed at designers, manufacturers and retailers that will help them enhance clothing durability and performance. (SH)
