A Deep Dive into Sustainable Fashion
At Anne Mulaire, our journey is deeply intertwined with the land we cherish, our Indigenous roots, and the future we aspire to build. Over the past few years, we've embarked on a transformative mission to revolutionize our clothing manufacturing process. Our commitment to sustainable fashion isn't just a buzzword; it's a guiding principle that shapes every decision we make.
In 2021, we took a deep dive into our operations with a lifecycle analysis, determined to enhance circularity, minimize waste, and reduce emissions. To our delight, we discovered that our efforts were already yielding impressive results. By keeping production onshore, offering on-demand manufacturing, running a zero-waste program, and providing customization options, we were making significant strides toward a more sustainable future.
Understanding Our Environmental Impact
Here's the deal: to truly improve, we must understand our current impact. And we want to stand even stronger because Mother Earth is calling, and she means business.
What Does This Mean for You?
When you choose Anne Mulaire, you're not just buying sustainable clothing; you're making a positive impact on the environment.
Celebrating Our Sustainability Achievements
Here's how our actions stack up against big box stores:
-
64% Lower Carbon Emissions: For every garment we produce, a big box store emits almost three times the carbon. Your choice is helping to drastically cut down on greenhouse gases.
-
72% Lower Energy Use: By choosing us, you're saving energy equivalent to turning off the lights in your house for weeks compared to the constant consumption if you bought from a big box store.
-
85% Lower Blue Water Consumption: Each purchase from us saves hundreds of gallons of water. It's like choosing us and keeping countless bathtubs of water from being drained by inefficient production methods.
- 🌲 235,118 Trees Planted: This effort is akin to creating a forest the size of a small town, each tree giving a high-five to the planet.
Supporting local businesses like ours isn't just about purchasing products; it's about backing initiatives that make a real difference. If you want to see positive change, support those who are actively working to create it.
*Blue Water refers to the withdrawal and use of water from freshwater lakes, rivers, and aquifers for human activities. Think of it as borrowing water from nature's stash for our daily needs.
At the heart of Anne Mulaire is a deep respect for our Indigenous heritage. This connection to our roots informs our commitment to sustainability and guides our practices. Our designs celebrate our Anishinaabe/French Métis culture, and our sustainable practices honor the traditional values of respecting and preserving the land.
Carbon Offset Projects
Every product you purchase from Anne Mulaire contributes a percentage toward carbon offset projects. We support initiatives like Karadere Wind Power in Turkey, Hudson Farm Improved Forest in the USA, and Poultry Powered Energy in India. These projects help us balance our carbon footprint and invest in a greener future.
