A typical clothing factory averages up to 40% waste during its production cycle<\/a> \u2014 that’s almost half an entire outfit! Shopping for\u00a0vintage items used to be\u00a0the only way to minimize your high-heeled eco footprint, but there are actually a handful of fashion and lifestyle\u00a0brands sprouting up in the name of elimination.<\/p>\n

Read on for a few of our faves in celebration of Earth Day on April 22.<\/p>\n

\"tumblr_o2lcogbovM1thflpzo1_1280\"<\/a>G-Star Raw for the Oceans<\/a><\/strong>
\nPharrell Williams has made us happy once again.\u00a0The hip hop artist and producer is a creative director for Bionic Yarn, an ocean-friendly clothing line which is (literally)\u00a0making big waves with its fun clothing line.\u00a0All products are made from recycled ocean plastic and range from expressive tees, cool denim, and essential outerwear.<\/p>\n

\"_U1A4918\"<\/a>Tonl\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFarm-to-table, meet factory-to-fashion. This Cambodian-based brand has cast aside the assembly line to create unique pieces like vibrant rayon trousers and swishy cotton dresses. All employees are paid well above minimum wage, and the company donates any spare pieces (handmade clay button, anyone?) to charitable organizations.<\/p>\n

\nLather, rinse and recycle with one of our fave eco-friendly cosmetics brand. Many of their products (from shampoo bars to henna) are not wrapped in plastic, and if packaging is needed it is from\u00a0post-consumer waste. Lush even shows you how to reuse the black jars as flower pots! So cute & nifty.<\/p>\n

\n

\"337162_471038482914458_1951679773_o\"<\/a>Brush with Bamboo<\/a><\/strong>
\nDentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every three months which creates a lot of plastic pileup. So rather than simply tossing your old toothbrush\u00a0in the trash, consider these bamboo-based bristles which are 100% compostable \u2014 now that’s\u00a0something to smile about!<\/p>\n

\n

\"960224_748494901832996_1974997286_n\"<\/a>Freedom of Animals<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis luxury handbag line is sustainable and cruelty-free. Freedom of Animals uses materials which are comprised of post-consumer polyurethane and organic cotton. They feel just as soft as leather but is made with a more sustainable fabric. Also, the all the bags are lined with plastic water bottles — how cool is that?<\/p>\n

\n

\"Coclico_Olive-3\"<\/a>Coclico<\/a><\/strong>
\nThese shoes\u00a0are literally making a positive impact with their eco\u00a0footprint by using recycled\u00a0and renewable components such as cork and natural woods. Their company focuses on slowing their impact on the environment and providing high-quality, timeless footwear.<\/p>\n
