Los Angeles, CA ̶ 23-Feb-2023: The fashion industry is responsible for about 10% of the world's total carbon dioxide emissions. With rising global temperatures and the consumer demand for fashion at an all-time high, the industry needs to make a conscious effort toward sustainable fashion. Lefty Production Co., a men's and women's wear manufacturer based in Los Angeles, is moving its production toward sustainable fashion by procuring naturally-occurring raw materials like cotton and hemp and reducing waste by digitizing sampling and using laser technology.
The fashion manufacturer's choice to use natural and recycled materials (instead of buying virgin synthetic fibers) is a step toward reducing microplastic pollution in our oceans and non-biodegradable plastics in our landfills. Synthetic raw materials like nylon and polyester produce microplastics when they are washed. These microplastics evade detection in water filtration plants, so they enter oceans and harm the marine ecosystem.
Lefty Production Co. is also improving garment production methods through 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and laser cutting technology. CAD helps them to create, alter, and optimize designs before they are sent for production. Using CAD, the manufacturer can avoid the waste created during sampling by simply doing everything on the computer, including fitting designs onto digital models. The lasers used in cutting eliminate low-quality cuts that otherwise let the fabric go to waste.
A spokesperson for the manufacturer said, "Whenever we work on a new line of products, we give our clients the opportunity to do their part in protecting the planet. We source raw materials like cotton, hemp, and bamboo. We work with virtual designs to capture the essence of the client's ideas without contributing to industrial waste. And we use laser-equipped machinery to cut precise fabric to reduce waste. Our team is dedicated to conscious fashion, and we show that through our work."
Production processes such as those employed by Lefty Production Co. may just be the way forward for fashion manufacturers if they are to save the environment from the industry's detrimental impact.
