SLOW, SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL FASHION

Reet Aus PhD, is a sustainable fashion designer who uses industrial upcycling to reduce the fashion industry’s impact on the environment by circulating fabrics leftover from mass production back into production using the design.

Did you know that in mass production, an average of 25-40% of new fabrics are considered pre-consumer waste and end up in landfills?

Reet Aus uses a science-based production model UPMADE® that uses only pre-consumer leftover fabrics, meaning no virgin materials are produced for production.

Thanks to the UPMADE® production model, each Reet Aus garment is able to save on average 75% water and 88% energy and emit 80% less CO2 in comparison to traditional production. In addition, the UPMADE® certificate guarantees that the garments do not contain harmful chemicals and that the production is socially responsible - meets international labour standards, and does not use child labour.
