Everything you need to know about Net Sustain – Net-a-Porter’s new sustainable section

As we all know, the fashion industry is unethical, unsustainable and polluting for the most part. However, over the last several years, young designers and small fashion brands are challenging traditional methods of production, reducing the environmental footprint and respecting labor conditions. Net-a-Porter couldn’t stay behind and launched its new platform Net Sustain, which is all about sustainable initiatives.

Net Sustain

The luxury industry is joining the trend to reduce their impact on the environment. This year, luxury retailer Net-a-Porter has announced that they are launching Net Sustain, a new platform that highlights brands that positively respond to sustainability.

This new platform takes into account both human and animal welfare and will show the customer fashion and beauty brands that have the best practices and use eco friendly materials. The final two traits are “Considered Processes” – products made using environmentally conscious processes or technologies – and “Reducing Waste” – products and packaging that are made using upcycled materials.
