Let's be sustainable!

ApparelX is launching a sustainability project, "ApparelX Sustainable."

The aim of this project is to solve some of the challenges in the fashion industry and have a positive impact on the environment and society.

In particular, we will focus on reducing waste, sourcing sustainable products, and promoting sustainable practices.

On the ApparelX Sustainable Blog, we will share our daily activities and the metrics we have achieved to improve sustainability in the fashion industry.

In this first installment, we would like to introduce topics that we believe should be improved and achieved in our future activities.

• Packaging materials: Currently, many packaging materials, not just those in the apparel industry, are still made from non-recycled materials. We will actively explore alternative packaging materials to minimize our impact on the environment.
• Products/Product Page: We will expand our handling of sustainable products. We will also categorize sustainable products and improve our product pages to make them easier to access for customers who seek such products and sympathize with our activities.
  
• Suppliers: In order to make the fashion industry sustainable, cooperation with suppliers and manufacturers is essential. We aim to list more sustainable products and improve traceability in production, building closer relationships with suppliers and manufacturers.
  
• R&D Research and development: Cooperation with research institutes such as universities is important for making the fashion industry sustainable. We will leverage our academic expertise to explore more fundamental solutions.
  
• Shipping: Shipping raw materials and finished products is a necessary process in the fashion industry. To make our deliveries more environmentally friendly, we are considering introducing delivery options with lower greenhouse gas emissions.
  
• Internal initiatives: Of course, internal sustainability initiatives are also important. We are taking steps to minimize our impact on the environment, including reducing waste and eliminating paper materials.
  
• Collection business: In order to reduce mass waste, which is one of the issues facing the apparel industry, we are considering a collection business for textile and secondary materials. We will collect excess inventory from our customers, such as brands and apparel manufacturers, as well as suppliers and manufacturers, and explore ways to reuse it.
  

From now on, on the ApparelX Sustainable Blog, we will introduce our activities and achievements regarding each topic. Your cooperation is essential to making the fashion industry sustainable. We look forward to your continued cooperation in building a sustainable industry!
