In order for a clothing material to be used in a piece of clothing, considerable time is spent to extract these raw materials, process them into fabric, and patch them up as a garment. Hence, a material can be deemed sustainable if it contributes to reducing the environmental impacts during this life cycle. We introduce five fibers we can choose from that help make an item of clothing more sustainable.

On the search for men’s clothing for wardrobe essentials or as a gift for a special person? For whichever occasion, these 6 brands offer men’s collections made consciously with circularity and less environmental impact in mind. Learn more about how these brands are sustainable on the ConsiderBeyond app.
