Priti Ugli Life-cycle series episode Two - Raw Materials Today's episode features four eco-friendly raw materials and four fantastic brands that use each of the Materials. Here are the four brands I have mentioned and their websites:) Thunderpants: www.thunderpants.co.nz/ Wallace Cotton: www.wallacecotton.com/ Mons Royale: nz.monsroyale.com/ Patagonia: www.patagonia.com/home/ Our worldly crisis of global warming and pollution is out of control with many industries (and people) contributing to this while we do nothing about it. I love the textile industry but it is the second largest polluter in the world right next to oil. We ignore this (even myself) and we produce or we buy our clothes from fast fashion industries because is cheap, it’s fast and the feeling of purchasing something releases endorphins that make us so happy! So we do it again and again and again until there will be nothing left. I am making this podcast series so that you as a designer, consumer or entrepreneur in the textile industry can get all the do’s and don'ts so that you are wearing the label of “Completely Sustainable” in your thoughts, wardrobe or store. I want you to think about a products whole life-cycle with the Priti Ugli mindset so that the decisions you make have been thoroughly thought about - with the Priti vs the Ugli of a purchase being considered. Each episode I will delve into the chapters of a garments life-cycle and how we make this cycle Completely sustainable and what brands are reaching into a stage.
