How hemp fabric can revolutionize the game of fashion?

It seems like experts can’t agree more on the fact that hemp could be the next big thing in redesigning the fashion industry. The headway of discovery has reached that stage where schooled people from the textile industry have labeled it as a ‘wonder plant’ that can alone improvise the quest for sustainable fashion. This could be perhaps the best choice for sustainable clothing in the years to come.

The current industry size of hemp is 4,744.7 million in 2022, out of which the growth rate of the hemp fashion industry alone is expected to hit 49.9% during the period of 2022-2028.

History repeats that starting from the early development stage until this moment; industrial growth has rolled in at the cost of natural resources.  The fashion industry is nowhere beyond. In addition to this we can warn you further about the growing threat caused by fast fashion. 

Not counting the examples of the fast-moving countries, textile waste counts the third largest source of solid municipal waste in India. On the contrary clothes made of hemp are completely eco-friendly and biodegradable in amalgam. What could be better than this?

Approx. 20% of industrial wastewater pollution globally is produced by the fashion industry (WRI 2017).

While global hubs are promoting cheap and fast fashion in the name of trends, people go on dumping them even without wearing much. Tapping the market pulse gets easier with the end-season sale. Retailers finally get chance to clear their dead-stock stapling discounted price-tags on them. This discount is ultimately taking toll on the health of the planet and generations to come.

The most shocking fact about the fashion industry that is doing round over in the internet is that in carbon emission it is placed right after the oil industry.

While every industry is taking their step forward in protecting nature clothes made of hemp is definitely a ‘ray of hope’ that is showing some brighter prospects in a sustainable form.
