Stephen Murphy from Fresh Cuts, runs an ethical and sustainable Irish clothing brand. Everything is designed in-house and made from 100% organic cotton. Stephen has some advice for consumers who want to shop more sustainably.
- Beware of greenwashing- read labels and pay attention to wording as marketing may be misleading.
- Look out for certificates such as GOTS.
- Be wary of recycled polyester. Once used in clothing this cannot be recycled again. Does the item really need to have plastic in it?
