Fashion is one of the world's most wasteful industries, generating thousands of tonnes of unnecessary waste a year. Many things contribute to this - cheap, throwaway clothing that doesn't last. The culture of 'trends' that makes some of us feel like we need to discard items that are no longer 'stylish'. The luxury goods and high fashion industry, which destroys garments and goods which are out of 'season' to maximise their desirability. And the First World, More-is-Better, consumerist mentality.

Yet, we can't all dress in hemp and sackcloth, so what can we do to still indulge ourselves in looking good, while minimising our environmental impact? Find out in Seed to Soul : Upcycle Edition!

Cloop: Sindy Ong

Why we do what we do at Cloop.

Why we do what we do and what’s in it for you! Yin Ling and Sindy are the two faces behind Cloop - an initiative to provide sustainable fashion options to mainly women, entirely surrounding the concept of rescuing preloved, secondhand clothes to provide clothing circularity within the community. The fashion industry has many ugly sides - be it damaging the environment or ethical issues. The demand for fast fashion is proving detrimental. People bought 60% more garments in 2014 than in 2000, and only kept the clothes for half as long! It is estimated that 85% of all textiles are dumped each year.

Cloop is funded by OCBC cares, MCCY and Seastainable, and supported by Secondsguru. Follow their social media for updates. @Cloop.sg https://www.instagram.com/cloop.sg/
