In a society based on consumerism, one of the best ways to save and respect the environment, benefit your own budget and satisfy your craving for unique products is to shop at second-hand or vintage stores.
- You can get unique pieces to your wardrobe
Have you ever bought a piece of clothing you loved and then dressed it on 5 other people? Thrift stores are an easy solution to this problem as you can find beautiful one- of-a-kind pieces that fit the trend and your budget.
- Help prevent environmental devastation
The accelerated rate of consumption that promotes "fast fashion" has made the textile industry the second most polluting industry on the planet, being responsible for 10% of carbon dioxide emissions in the world and the second industry in the world that needs more water
In these processes, the expense and generation of waste are enormous, demonstrating once again that it is not a sustainable system. Without going any further, it is estimated that to make jeans you need between 2,130 and 3,080 liters of water, an outrage!
At JOAN by Cudeca we believe that it is necessary to reconsider this model of production and especially of consumption to take the step towards a circular economy that is more respectful of the environment.
- Reduces the size of landfills or landfills
In addition to being unsustainable, fast fashion is also often poorly made and to keep costs down, manufacturers use substandard materials.
As a result, landfills around the world are inundated with barely-used clothing, leading to environmental problems with soil, wildlife, and the vast land mass that the trash occupies. That's why the European Commission is currently implementing an action plan to save another 90,000 tons of clothing from EU landfills by 2019. Fill just a fraction of your closet with favorite clothes, and you're already helping the process along.
- You support the local economy and creativity
Shopping in second hand stores encourages the growth of small local businesses in Spain. Additionally, the staff at thrift or vintage clothing stores are often very knowledgeable about fashion as well as well-made brands and clothing. Furthermore, most of these stores are welcoming and unique places, providing a personalized shopping experience.
In addition, by buying at Cudeca you will be contributing directly so that we can continue to offer specialized care to people with cancer and other diseases completely free of charge.
