¿Qué tan ético es "vestir verde"?

Abstract

Consumers of clothing, footwear and handbags have shown, in recent years, a growing concern for the care of the environment. When choosing a garment, today's consumers demand that the products they purchase be sustainable. Biotechnological developments in the fashion industry have developed highly sustainable textiles and these technologies are moving the sources of raw materials from the farm to the laboratory. However, new technologies for developing sustainable textiles have the ability to be environmentally beneficial; but in turn we face ethical challenges from the social point of view due to its potential to increase the technological gap between countries.Therefore, promoting international collaboration with developing countries would help brands in the fashion industry to be not only sustainable with respect to environment, but also social and ethically responsible.
