Seamlessly connecting consumers to suppliers for eco-friendly clothing recycling.
About Us
Slo-Fashion, created by four enthusiastic college students, is dedicated to solve the fashion landfill waste problem and making recycling more convenient. We've made it our mission to collect your used outfits and get them into the hands of eco-friendly brands that give them a second chance. And here's the cool part: for every piece you send our way, we thank you with some cryptocurrency.
Why Slo
According to TheRoundUp.org " Between 80 and 100 billion new clothing garments are produced globally every year. 87% of the materials and fibers used to make clothing will end up in either incinerators or landfills. Only 20% of discarded textiles are collected. Only 1% of clothes will get recycled into new garments." The alarming rate of landfill waste produced by the fast fashion industry is concerning. The environmental degradation and the fashion industry's significant carbon footprint inspired us to make an effort for change. We discovered a gap between consumer intentions and actions towards sustainability. Fashion brands are trying to become more sustainable by providing discounts to customers for recycling clothes, but we all know how hard it is to physically go to a store to give up on old clothes to earn some discounts in our busy schedules. Inspired to bridge this gap, we set out to create a platform that makes sustainable living accessible and rewarding.
