- Mike Dongelmans' talk focuses on changes within the fashion industry and the shift to sustainably produced clothing.
"Mud Jeans" produce and sell sustainable everyday fashion made of environmentally friendly, organic (GOTS certified), or recycled cotton with the goal to change the fashion industry to become circular, sustainable and ethical. They offer a total sustainable concept that they hope will attract new customer groups and upgrade the fashion chain stores’ environmental profile as well as stimulate the garment industry in general to adopt a circular economy approach and ecological Fairtrade products.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
This video really helped open my eyes to everything happening around the world. This was very educational, especially for someone like me majoring in fashion!
thank Mike, it is wonderful to learn more everyday, Iam Founder of No Waste Vietnam, an Org focus on Climate Change and Plastic
Really great talk. Learned a lot, thank you!
Excellent video. The only thing I'd bring up is the increased cost involved in doing the right thing. Then again I suppose thats all about your priorities.
Please study-Welt Documentary and DW Documentary thanks
If we want consumers to behave better, we need to shorten the chains. To bring behaviour and consequences together.

There are operations in the UK and the Continent dispatching quality 2nd hand clothing to the Third World. It is hands-on coordinated to go to distributors and retailers and merchants in Asia and Africa. So that those apparel reprocessing operations to which he refers, and which are European-based, may need to be actually also established in Asia and Africa. But in the meantime it is still useful to at least attempt to wean those Western fools off the process of gladly ripping themselves off in shopaholic frenzies for gear which they'll primarily hoard and never wear, or impart as gifts which the recipient never wanted or shall ever wear. Because what happens is that Third Worlders tend to imitate what the West does.
if you want to talk about changing fashion behaviour, you need to address the financial aspect. Fast fashion exists to give the illusion of financial clout to those who do not have it. Making clothing worth what it should be worth makes it unattainable to many, therefore highlighting the financial disparity of our society. No one wants to have THAT conversation.
