Ask companies "What's in my clothes?"
After a Dutch study in 2019 which discovered that labelling in clothes often does not reflect the actual textile makeup Fashion Revolution launched the #whatsinmyclothes campaign to ask companies to look closer at their materials and supply chains. You can help by using their email template to ask #whatsinmyclothes
Over 10,000 garments were tested by Circle Economy: in 41% of cases the garment composition labels did not match the composition of the garment.
