F&P: Leading The Way In Sustainability
HANDLING SUSTAINABLE WHOLESALE CLOTHING
Clothes, Shoes and Accessories
As a result of globalization, the fashion industry has been extremely focused on manufacturing overproduction and profit maximization. This situation has originated a new trend of “leftovers,” in which alarmingly large quantities of shoes and clothing are being dumped. All in pursuit to make room for the new collections.
Thus, it is very important to acknowledge that the production of textiles and footwear has devastating consequences for the environment. Just to get an idea, according to the data obtained by the IEA (International Energy Agency), the textile and leather productions emit approximately 89 million metric tons of CO₂ annually. Additionally, according to Quantis (2018), there are figures on footwear production which reach approximately 700 million metric tons on emissions annually. Indeed the CO₂ emission is playing a big role here, however, it is also very important to keep in mind the massive consumption of electricity and water being generated!
F&P Stock Solution is committed to finding ways to support, reduce waste and find new ways to foster the circular economy and contribute to environmental aiding. This is possible by giving shoes and cloth a second life cycle – a second opportunity through a sustainable stock clothing approach!
In this way, the suppliers do not have to destroy their clothing leftovers. This opens an opportunity for the B2B customers interested in buying this stock of clothing to avoid new ones being manufactured.
Hence, our wholesale and stock clothing business model aims on making a significant contribution to greenhouse gas reduction and the conservation of resources. By addressing greater sustainability in the supply chain of our business partners!
