JAKARTA - The fashion industry is one of the most massive and rapidly growing sectors in the world. However, behind its creativity, this sector is also one of the biggest contributors to environmental damage.

Fashion waste, both in the form of residual clothing production, unused textiles, and pollution due to the manufacturing process, is becoming a serious concern. However, there are many ways to reduce the bad effects of fashion waste.

As a young generation, we can play an active role in promoting sustainable fashion. Here's how to reduce the bad effects of fashion waste from designer Rama Dauhan, when met at the UNIQLO Senayan City event, Jakarta on Friday, November 15, 2024.

Sustainable clothing is often made from environmentally friendly ingredients, such as organic fiber (such as organic cotton), recycled fiber, or other natural ingredients.

Sustainable fashion is designed to have designs derived from recycled materials, as well as allow it to be decomposed into reusable or recycled components.

"This brings sustainables that reduce fashion waste," said Rama Dauhan.

One way to help you to look attractive every day without the need to buy a lot of clothes and pants is to mix and match. You can mix and match at will and can seek references through social media.

"This collaboration seems to remind me to work again. I can mix and match longer. This can be done as a form of awareness," he said.

Used clothes that are not processed in an increasing number every year turn out to be one of the main topics of global issues. One way to reduce this impact is through a more sustainable clothing design.

"It can be designed according to will. It can be printed at Uniqlo Studio and wait for 15-30 minutes. We can choose the design form we want. However, we have to wait because there are queues," he said.

"So, I really design from Indonesia. For example, from social issues that are trending in Jakarta. For example, sports, sports are busy, it's tennis, football, which is trending." he continued.
