Textiles & fashion is one of the largest polluting industries in the world.
Did You Know…
-
84% of clothing today ends up in landfills or incinerators.
-
Less than 1% of clothing is reused
-
Every second, a truckload of clothing is landfilled or burned.
-
More than $500 billion USD of value is lost every year due to clothing underutilization.
-
If we continue on this current path, by 2050 the fashion industry could be responsible for more than 1/4 of the 1.5 degree global warming budget allotted by the IPCC.
Climate in Distress
The textile industry is fueling the global climate crisis.
The Challenge:
From resource-intensive production and chemical pollution to microfiber runoff, shipping emissions, landfilling, incineration, and air and water pollution—the textile industry has a significant environmental impact.
The Tersus Solutions Pledge:
We’re committed to reducing our own carbon footprint while helping brand partners strengthen their sustainability efforts—driving meaningful change across the industry.
Our innovative cleantech is more energy- and water-efficient than traditional wash-based cleaning methods. Tersus’ energy, carbon, and water savings are calculated and tracked for both internal and external reporting, allowing us to continuously improve our processes and share our collective impact.
Our climate commitment continues to evolve as we identify new ways to help brands meet (and exceed) their sustainability goals.
