Ces derniers temps, porter des v\u00eatements vintage est devenu \u00e0 la fois \u00e0 la mode et un moyen pour nous de faire une d\u00e9claration forte sur nous-m\u00eames. Que ce soit pour des raisons financi\u00e8res ou politiques, beaucoup d'entre nous ne se contentent plus d'acheter des v\u00eatements bon march\u00e9 qui finissent au fond de nos armoires des semaines plus tard.<\/p>\n
La production de denim (ou de tout autre v\u00eatement d'ailleurs) a in\u00e9vitablement un impact sur l'environnement. Cela commence de la culture du coton utilis\u00e9 pour le fabriquer, jusqu'\u00e0 l'exp\u00e9dition du v\u00eatement fini, souvent dans le monde entier. Il faut 2900 gallons d'eau pour produire une paire de jeans et 766 gallons d'eau pour produire un seul t-shirt (National Geographic, 2010). Les plantations de coton utilisent \u00e9galement fr\u00e9quemment des produits chimiques et des pesticides, cr\u00e9ant des gaz \u00e0 effet de serre.<\/p>\n
Cependant, cela ne repr\u00e9sente qu'une infime partie de l'impact environnemental global. Chaque ann\u00e9e au Royaume-Uni, nous achetons 2 millions de tonnes de v\u00eatements, dont 1,2 million de tonnes sont mises en d\u00e9charge. Le textile est d\u00e9sormais le secteur des d\u00e9chets m\u00e9nagers \u00e0 la croissance la plus rapide, dans ce que les m\u00e9dias ont surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab l'effet Primark \u00bb (The Daily Telegraph). De nombreux d\u00e9taillants effectuent d\u00e9sormais une rotation des stocks toutes les six semaines. Ceci est insoutenable \u00e0 la fois financi\u00e8rement et d'un point de vue environnemental.<\/p>\n
Ind\u00e9pendamment de cela, il serait injuste de bl\u00e2mer l'impact environnemental uniquement sur les d\u00e9taillants, apr\u00e8s tout, ils ne produiraient pas de telles quantit\u00e9s de v\u00eatements si nous ne les achetions pas. Mais les choses commencent lentement \u00e0 changer en raison de l'int\u00e9r\u00eat croissant pour l'achat de produits \u00e9thiques et respectueux de l'environnement. De nombreux d\u00e9taillants utilisent d\u00e9sormais du coton biologique, par exemple.<\/p>\n
L'utilisation de coton biologique est un petit pas vers la r\u00e9duction de l'impact de la mode et de la fabrication de v\u00eatements sur l'environnement. Il serait faux de dire que les v\u00eatements vintage n'ont aucun impact sur l'environnement ; \u00e0 un certain stade, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 fabriqu\u00e9 en utilisant le m\u00eame processus. Cependant avec des v\u00eatements vintage c'est ind\u00e9niablement moins nocif sur le long terme car ne pas jeter nos v\u00eatements r\u00e9duira les gaz \u00e0 effet de serre.<\/p>\n
\u00c0 l'heure actuelle, seuls 16% des v\u00eatements que nous \u00e9liminons au Royaume-Uni chaque ann\u00e9e sont recycl\u00e9s (The Daily Telegraph). Acheter du vintage encourage le recyclage, car nous sommes moins susceptibles de jeter une trouvaille vintage pr\u00e9cieuse que nous sommes une bonne affaire de la rue principale. Compte tenu de cela, (que vous choisissiez d'acheter du vintage ou du neuf), l'impact environnemental de la fabrication de v\u00eatements est certainement un probl\u00e8me qui m\u00e9rite r\u00e9flexion.<\/p>\n
