Over 10.5 million tons of discarded textile waste ends up populating landfills every year. Most of these fabrics are polyesters and other synthetic blends that are not biodegradable - think water bottles. The scary part is that while fashion is fast, textile production is neither quick nor easy. Fabric goes through several different channels - design, material production, manufacturing, distribution, and transport; mostly things that we don't even think about when buying our favorite piece. These stages have a devastating impact on our environment, and Knotzland is here to save the day!
