Bridges Wellness (2025)

Over a million tonnes of clothing are purchased annually in the UK according to a recent WRAP report.

📈 That’s an increase of almost 20% tonnes compared to 5 years prior.

As more people buy more stuff, this means fast fashion is getting faster still.

Stopping for a moment though, if 60% of that is made from plastic and 9️⃣9️⃣% of it is never recycled, that means tonnes of polluting waste going to landfill or incineration per second 🚛

❌ Burying or burning plastic isn’t a sensible strategy.

The only way to get serious about sustainability is a redesign from the start.

For this means using natural organic materials and renewable energy to make our products, each of which is designed to be remade when it’s worn out.

Natural, sustainable, and never to landfill.

One tonne at a time.

↗️ The value of the ethical
clothing market increased by nearly 2️⃣0️⃣% annually in recent years, according to Ethical Consumer Market Report.

👀 As the climate crisis escalates and nature itself begins to collapse, it turns out people notice.

There are simple solutions to the problems in our economy and the biological systems support life on Earth.

🐝 By using natural materials like organic cotton, material growth means plant growth and biodiversity is a consequence of doing business that way.

Similarly, brands like us using renewable energy, if they grow, grow the number of solar panels or wind turbines with them.

💚 That makes our customers part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Hope. This is what it feels like.

A 2017 report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimated that 3️⃣5️⃣% of all microplastics in the ocean came from the washing of synthetic textiles like polyester.

These tiny fibres and flakes of plastics come off clothes in the washing machine and end up in our rivers, lakes, seas.

🐠 Then, after being digested by wildlife, they bioaccumulate through food chains and back into human digestive systems 🍽️.

❌ This is really not good.

🩳 Immediate change is as simple as making clothes from plants, not plastic.

Which is why it’s important for me as a to be able to offer you a clothing and accessories range that uses natural materials like organic cotton.

Natural materials are compatible with nature and they’re a solution to pollution.

🔎 The clue is in the name.
