Veganism slowly begins to pose a threat to the established fashion industry, which may be a theme that excites most people who care and care for our environment only if the fashion industry is highly exposed to a sad reality for our air, our garden , our water and our forests - that they are destroyed quite right.

An interesting question is, of course, whether veganism is a good threat and it is right to challenge the essential areas where the international textile and fashion industry is worst in terms of sustainability for our all-together sphere? Perhaps it is right now but not necessarily in the long run, if the vegan alternatives are also vulnerable to the environment in certain perspectives. The conclusion on what exactly should be the long-term sustainability principle behind the manufacture of clothes and shoes for an increasingly fashionable world does not come in this post, but hopefully it may be a start at an interesting angle in the dialogue towards the solution.

Veganism threatens the current worldview ...

There is not yet widely available statistical evidence of the competitiveness of vegan textiles against natural textiles, but the truth is that many major and well-known clothing brands and retail chains including H & M and Asos, according to the British Vegan Society, are also finding strategies not only sustainable but decidedly vegan direction. Danish FashionForest can also tell you about increased vegan demand. If the majority of companies follow the currents that lead to the most money, the strategic involvement of the said companies in vegan fabrics is a good indication of the vegan's team in the consumer and the UNIDO increasing demand for faux leather and plastic alternatives.

Not black white - like everything else

As mentioned, veganism may not be the right sustainability counterpart to the textile industry. However, with the vegan behavior in mind, it seems important to relate to this. It is estimated from WWF that for the production of just one T-shirt, up to 2700 liters of clean water is used, among other things, cotton production among the great culprits. Of course, it is obvious to consider whether ideological is just if our Natural resources will be pushed harder than is the case today in the service of the vegan. Journalist and founder of the blog and the news page EcoCult.com, Alden Wicker, emphasizes in the article, Eco Fashion's Animal Rigths Delusion , that vegan fabrics do not necessarily offer a solution to all related ethical issues, if the fabrication of the vegan approved substances rayon, acrylic and polyester are among the most toxic substances to manufacture.

Because if at the end of the vegan path we are left with a vegan fast fashion machine, which is generally not better and perhaps for certain essential areas of our environment worse than other alternatives, it is self-evident that it will be necessary to reconsider the whole idea. The conclusion, however, whether veganism is a threat to the current textile and fashion industry should be unambiguous to most. Veganism is fortunately a threat to the state of things in a pig industry that has an unusually brutal approach to the use of animals in production. Of course, that must be done, and here, veganism plays an important role. What then will challenge the vegans to a new order must show time, but interesting and hopefully good for us, animals and nature will be.
