It's a bit better than using virgin polyester but it's still regarded by many as a green-washing tactic by brands. And of course influencers lap up the PR from the brands unquestioningly and regurgitate. If only some had some kind of journalistic background and could look a bit futher past the guff. Still produces micro fibres, too.

Plastic can only be recycled a few times (depending on what it is made into) and always ends up in landfill at some point. So the ‘my skirt is made from plastic bottles’ and is therefore good for the planet is bollocks, unless you wear the garment very regularly for a long amount of time to get the use from it.

Which then at least means it’s being useful
 
At work we once looked at investing in a company that was making a huge deal of tbe fact that their clothing was made with Tencel, a sustainable material. But their products were made in China with a very opaque supply chain. Therefore they had no idea who was making their clothes. Its absolute greenwashing. Not saying that that this is the case here but I'm always very suspicious of any claims.
 
She buys so many new clothes I don't know why she doesn't buy 2nd hand more. It's all just fast fashion for her.
How hard could it be to source a fairly dull long black skirt then get it altered by a local tailor to fit her teeny weeny lil frame 🤭
If I was her, and was buying and receiving for free so much 'stuff' for my job, I'd definitely look to areas where I could buy more ethically and responsibly to offset the waste.
 
Seriously, she could be a poster girl for the kind of *fewer better things* mindset influencer, but instead she's chasing those instagram hits with a kind of more, MORE, MORE!!! dying days of Rome decadence.

Our little pixie could probably get an upturned thistle and some black mascara and fashion a environmentally sound pUnKy black skirt, so wee is she 🧚‍♀️
 
She can get to duck with her greenwashing low spend classic purchase nonsense. She is living proof that its bullshit. She's trapped in a weird cycle of constantly buying unremarkable clothes and pretending that they are "the one". If someone was in and out of Primark as often as she is in and out of Cos or Whistles she'd be disdainful of their choices.

She's has the privilege of being a standard dress size/height, so second hand/vintage shops will be bursting with stuff she can easily access. For example, it's really hard to find plus sized items in those kind of shops.

Nobody tell her she's anything other than perfectly unique though, aye.

Standard? How dare you, she is completely unique, there's no one else like her in the land
