How to reduce your clothing footprint

Cómo reducir tu huella al vestir

Every piece of clothing we wear has a story. And we're not just talking about its design or style, but everything that happened before it arrived in your closet: from the natural resources used to the emissions generated while transporting it. In other words, clothes also leave a mark , and it's not always one we want to keep walking on.

In a world where climate change and environmental degradation can no longer be ignored, it's more important than ever to be mindful of what we consume. And that starts, literally, with what we wear.

The environmental impact of conventional clothing

The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world. Most conventional clothing is produced from synthetic materials or intensively grown cotton, using highly polluting processes and massive CO₂ emissions.

  • A single pair of conventional jeans can emit up to 33 kg of CO₂ over its life cycle.

  • Clothing manufactured and shipped from other continents has a larger carbon footprint due to the long distances it travels.

  • Industrial processes often contaminate soil and water and emit harmful gases into the environment.

The good news? There are real alternatives. And yes, they're increasingly accessible.

Choosing sustainable clothing means reducing your footprint without sacrificing style.

When you choose sustainable fashion, you're not just buying a pretty garment: you're opting for a different way of relating to the planet .

At Greener , we take this very seriously. Our garments are designed so that every step of their life cycle—from manufacturing to use —has the lowest possible impact .

How did we achieve this?

1. CO₂ purification technology

Thanks to our innovative treatment applied to garments, our clothes not only prevent pollution, but also help purify the air .
While you wear it, our fibers neutralize polluting gases such as CO₂, NOx, and volatile organic compounds, transforming them into harmless particles.

2. Sustainable materials that make a difference

Each fabric we choose not only feels good to the touch, but also represents an environmental commitment . Below, we'll tell you how some of our favorite materials help reduce your footprint:
