Why the Fashion Industry Needs a Change
When you think about fashion, what images pop into your mind? Glamorous runways? Stunning swimsuits? The truth is, that the fashion industry has one of the highest environmental footprints of any sector.
From textile waste to microplastics in the ocean, it’s a huge problem that needs to be addressed. That’s where we come in at Brazilian Coast Beachwear.
We're here to turn the tide. This blog dives into the stats and shows how sustainable swimwear and slow fashion are not just trends—they’re the solution to the fashion industry's biggest challenges.
The Bigger Picture: The Fashion Industry’s Environmental Impact
Did you know that the fashion industry generates a mind-blowing 92 million tons of textile waste each year? That’s enough to fill a garbage truck every second. Yes, you read that right. Every. Single. Second. And the problem doesn't stop with waste. 35% of microplastics in our oceans are from synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon, which are commonly found in traditional swimwear.
Another shocking stat? It takes about 2,700 liters of water to produce just one cotton t-shirt—that’s enough water for someone to drink for 2.5 years. And yet, so much of the fashion industry is still built on waste, overproduction, and harmful materials.
But here's the good news: change is possible, and it’s already happening!
Our Commitment to Change: Slow Fashion and Sustainability
At Brazilian Coast Beachwear, we’re doing things differently. We're making conscious choices every step of the way, so you can wear your swimsuit with pride, knowing it’s good for the planet. Here's what we’re doing to create real change:
1. Biodegradable Materials: Swimwear That Loves the Earth
All of our swimwear is crafted from biodegradable fabrics. That means, when the time comes to part with your favorite bikini, it won’t sit in a landfill for hundreds of years. Instead, it will break down naturally, leaving no harmful traces behind. How amazing is that?
2. Slow Fashion: Made-to-Order, Zero Waste
We believe in the power of slow fashion—the art of making high-quality pieces that last, rather than the fast-paced, wasteful cycle of mass production. At Brazilian Coast Beachwear, we don’t have a warehouse full of unsold swimsuits collecting dust. Instead, we make each swimsuit only when you order it, ensuring there’s no overproduction and reducing waste.
3. Plastic-Free Production: No Room for Plastic Here
From the moment we source our fabrics to the final touches on your swimwear, we are committed to eliminating plastic from the production process. That means no plastic packaging, no synthetic materials—just earth-friendly fabrics and recyclable, biodegradable packaging to ensure your swimsuit reaches you in the most sustainable way possible.
4. Soulful Decisions: Fashion Inspired by Nature
Every design, every stitch, and every fabric choice is inspired by our belief that fashion should respect the planet and its creatures. We take inspiration from nature and the ocean, believing that the beauty of the world around us can guide our decisions in a way that’s both sustainable and soulful. We make choices that feel right to us because we listen to our hearts—and our hearts say, “We can do better for the planet.”
