What’s Inside:
Regenerative by Design Report
How can we stop the problem at the source?
End-of-life solutions are vital, however, they alone cannot solve the textile waste crisis if the industry continues producing garments that perpetuate a take-make-waste culture. This report looks for solutions at the beginning of a garment's life, applying four levels of regenerative agriculture to regenerative design that move from soil to social systems.
Designing for Regeneration
When brands and designers choose regenerative materials, they choose fibers that heal the “skin” of the earth through agricultural practices like cover crops and managed grazing—and when we put natural fibers and dyes onto our own skin, it supports human flourishing as well.

-
Both concepts require finding solutions that are in conversation with, rather than trying to control, the local land and communities—which means unlearning harmful industrial practices and relearning indigenous land stewardship.
-
The implications of climate change make the risk associated with business as usual an economic incentive itself, and early movers can both ensure resiliency and reap long-term benefits.
-
Not just by sourcing regeneratively grown fibers, but by investing upstream, building long-term partnerships with growers and helping create the market conditions and designs necessary for these practices to scale.
-
It involves close partnership with local artisans and farmers, which supports meaningful livelihoods and upholds skills and traditions that are at risk of being lost in the homogeneity of mass production.
-
Those that acknowledge and address overproduction through long-term commitments to regenerative practices can support the cultural shift needed to address overconsumption.

HEY FASHION! Report
Founded in 2022, HEY FASHION! was a project dedicated to spotlighting the textile waste crisis. We commissioned a report, authored by Pentatonic®, to translate data and a diverse set of stakeholder voices into concrete recommendations for propelling circular solutions forward.
