Behind Factory Doors


When you think about sustainability initiatives what comes to mind? On my recent trip to China I was fortunate enough to visit fashion factories. On my continuous discovery into the socially responsible fashion industry, this specific factory opened my eyes to waste accumulation. The big question is where do these scrapes go? Are they recycled? Do vendors purchase them for resale? Or are they simply finding homes in the nearest landfills? 

Location: Faux Fur Factory - Shenzhen, China 









No this is not a landfill, but it could be. Waste also accumulations in places outside of fashion factories. As we were leaving the Water Town in Shenzhen this was my view. Pretty shocking!
