Trois grains de riz

Il était une fois trois grains de riz. Dans un bol, tout au fond, c’est tout ce qui lui reste. Pour lui, sa femme, son bébé, et rien d’autre pour se nourrir. Rien d’autre pour vivre. Sur la ferraille, leur lit, sa femme dort. Elle essaie. À côté, le voisin n’en finit plus de crier. Colère et indignation. Lui aussi vient de se faire licencier. Leur faute à tous les deux ? Dans la rue, leur révolte portée à nue. Ils sont descendus, ensemble, avec leurs camarades, avec les autres ouvriers de l’usine, pour demander un salaire plus équitable, un salaire plus humain. Justice et dignité, voilà ce qu’ils désirent. Nobles revendications estimaient-ils. Pour leur patron, ce fut la porte. Prix à payer de celui qui ne sait pas rester à sa place. Mais comment faire à présent ? Comment faire sans argent, sans ressources, seul avec ces trois grains de riz ? Minuscules et ridicules semences perdues au fond d’un bol, ébréché lui aussi. Les contes nous racontent que quelques graines extraordinaires savent déjouer les pièges des géants, quand la vie leur répond qu’il n’est pas bon de croire à toutes ces fantaisies. Lui n’y croit déjà plus, mais le sourire de son enfant, cette magie -là, il peut encore la voir. Dans la nuit, dans le noir, après le chaos du jour, sur les lèvres du bébé, des rêves paisibles s’annoncent, protègent encore un peu l’innocence de celui qui, son père l’espère, ne connaîtra pas une telle misère.

Texte inspiré de la révolte au Bangladesh des ouvriers du textile pour un salaire digne.

A good rule of thumb is to verify a brand’s level of transparency; if they are not openly releasing information, it is definitely a red flag. In May 2020, two reports from Global Labour Justice (GLJ) describe the mistreatment of Asian female garment workers in H&M and Gap supplier factories, including (but not limited to) physical abuse, sexual harassment, unfavourable working conditions, and mandatory overtime. The best way to learn more about a brand is to visit its website and read what it has to say. These days there are a number of websites such as Fashion Revolution which produce an annual Fashion Transparency Index reviewing 150 of the world’s biggest fashion brands. You can also use apps like GoodOnYou to search for specific brands that have been rated based on factors like how they treat their employees, the impact they have on the environment and animals, and more.

Global Circular Fashion: Embracing Fashion Globally to Create a Sustainable Fashion Future

The Rise of Fast Fashion and its Circular Fashion Over the past few decades, the rise of fast fashion has transformed the global apparel industry. Where consumers once upgraded their wardrobes a few times a year through planned purchases, they now shop more frequently, with trends changing at an ever more rapid pace. Major clothing brands now release new collections every two weeks and low prices enable frequent purchases. However, this business model has come at a huge environmental cost. The United Nation estimates that the fashion industry generates 10% of global carbon emissions annually and consumes more energy than the aviation and shipping industries combined. With increasing production volumes tied to falling garment lifespans, vast amounts of textile waste is dumped in landfills every year instead of being recycled or reused. If trends continue, the fashion industry's environmental footprint will expand significantly.

The Need for Circular Systems To create a more sustainable future, it is Global Circular Fashion away from the linear "take-make-dispose" model to a circular economy approach. Circular systems aim to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. For fashion, this means rethinking the entire lifecycle of garments - from design and material sourcing to production, distribution, consumption, and end of use. The goal is to transition from a disposal-oriented system to one that retains value, reuses resources, and minimizes environmental impacts. Some circular strategies that brands and policymakers are exploring include extending garment lifetime through durability and repairability, using recycled and biodegradable materials, implementing take-back and resale programs, and investing in closed-loop recycling technologies.

Corporate Leadership and Innovation Leading brands have already begun embracing circular principles to varying degrees. Swedish retailer H&M launched a garment collection program in 2013 allowing customers to drop off old clothes in stores. So far it has collected over 35,000 tons globally that are sorted and recycled or reused. Meanwhile, fashion company Ecouterre designs digitally printed collections with minimal waste using plant-based dyes and biodegradable fabrics. Outdoor brand Patagonia runs “Worn Wear,” a program promoting product repair to extend lifespan. It recently began trials for a closed-loop recycling facility in Europe. On the materials front, companies like Adidas and Reebok have launched shoe collections incorporating post-consumer recycled plastics and other sustainably sourced inputs. From design to end-of-use, these examples demonstrate feasible innovations that can scale with broader corporate adoption.

Policy Push and Regional Actions Market forces alone may not be enough to drive the systemic change required for circular transition globally. Coordinated policy push and regional cooperation are also needed. The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) concept extends a producer's responsibility for its product to the post-consumer stage of the product's lifecycle. Laws making brands financially and physically responsible for collecting and recycling textiles will incentivize design for durability and recyclability. The European Union recently unveiled plans for a more robust circular economy via its European Green Deal policy package. It aims to cut down on textile waste and establish EPR schemes across member states by 2025. Meanwhile, the UK has issued reforms to boost clothing resale and encourage design for longer use-phases. On a city level, Amsterdam and Paris are piloting fashion collection bins linked to brands' takeback programs to improve recycling rates. Combined top-down policy nudges and bottom-up innovations could help deliver on the promise of circular fashion globally.

Challenges of Adoption in Developing Markets While circular initiatives are gaining steam in developed markets, their adoption faces considerable challenges in emerging economies that are big fashion consumers and producers. Commercial RESALES programs are yet to meaningfully take off in regions like Southeast Asia due to low standards for used clothing and resale platforms. Collection and sorting infrastructure also remains underdeveloped compared to brand-run programs in the West. Local recyclers lack access to recycling technologies and face supply chain barriers. Affordability further affects consumers' ability to pay premiums for sustainable options or access garment rental/repair services popular in wealthier nations. Overcoming these socioeconomic obstacles will require hybrid business models tailored for lower-income demographics together with public investments in waste management infrastructure. Cooperation between international brands, domestic manufacturers, and regional stakeholders can help accelerate the circular transition process in developing economies.

Need for Multilateral Action and Public Engagement As fashion globalizes, the shift towards circularity similarly demands coordinated action worldwide. Issues like plastic pellet pollution, carbon leakage across supply chains, and global trade in textile waste underline the need for binding multilateral agreements. The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework, but more concrete international regulations and collaborative platforms are still lacking. Public awareness and individual consumer choices also prove influential. As citizens demand transparency from brands and opt for resale over disposable trends, it pressures companies to clean up act. Governments must educate masses and incentivize sustainable behavior through programs like subsidies for repairs. Lastly, multi-stakeholder organizations coupling businesses, non-profits and researchers can aid knowledge sharing to speed up circular innovations globally. Only through united efforts across public, private and non-profit spheres will the vision of an inclusive circular economy take true shape worldwide.

In conclusion, making sustainability the status quo requires transitioning the trillion-dollar fashion industry onto a circular path. While different regions and actors will progress at varying speeds, collective action supported by policy, innovation and public advocacy offers hope. By addressing the root causes of waste embedded in today's linear take-make-waste model, the industry can evolve to better protect people and planet for generations to come. A circular future demands new systems of design, production and consumption but change begins with individual and joint determination to create a fashion industry that nurtures natural and social capital for all.

The fashion industry is characterized by rapidly changing trends, but one brand is making strides by integrating style and sustainability. Alfaq, known for its innovative designs, recently launched a collection poised to transform perspectives. This is more than a new clothing line; it represents the future of the fashion industry. Sustainable Style Meets Contemporary Edge Alfaq's latest collection demonstrates sustainable fashion's potential. Each piece in the line, ranging from hoodies to jackets, t-shirts to shorts, and sweatshirts, is produced with strong environmental consideration. However, this isn't typical "green" clothing. Prioritizing Eco-Friendly Materials What sets Alfaq apart is an unwavering focus on eco-friendly materials. Every fabric, thread, and button is selected with sustainability in mind. As a result, the garments not only look appealing but feel good – for both the wearer and the planet. Organic Cotton as the Foundation of Comfort All-cotton clothing is a key component of Alfaq's latest collection. The cotton is grown without any kind of harmful pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The utilization of organic cotton leads to apparel which are softer, more durable, and long-lasting, making them beneficial for both the environment and consumers. Ethical Production Beyond Surface Level Alfaq isn't just jumping on sustainability as a passing trend; they're pioneering ethical fashion. Their commitment goes deeper than materials to include fair labor practices and transparency throughout supply chains. Wearing Alfaq supports not only personal style but also global equity. Recycled Materials as a Source of Innovation Perhaps the most exciting part of Alfaq's new collection is innovative use of recycled materials. By upcycling fabrics that may otherwise become waste, Alfaq is closing the loop on fashion's environmental impact. Empowering Eco-Conscious Choices As consumers grow more aware of their wardrobes' environmental effects, brands like Alfaq's are leading on eco-friendly options. This collection proves sustainability need not come at the cost of style. Each piece achieves balance between form and function, appealing to style-conscious buyers focused on sustainability.

In summary, Alfaq's new collection transcends being merely a product line – it's a model for the future of fashion. By seamlessly integrating sustainable materials, ethical production standards, organic apparel, and upcycled designs. For those seeking eco-conscious options without sacrificing style, Alfaq's collection is a paradigm shift.

Une expérimentation

Il était une fois une expérimentation. C’était hallucinant. Il n’avait pas voulu y croire et pourtant, maintenant qu’il avait le résultat sous ses yeux, il était bien obligé d’admettre que les autres avaient eu raison et qu’il aurait eu tort de ne pas les avoir écoutés. Lui était de la vieille école, il avait ses habitudes, ses propres méthodes et techniques qui avaient participé à son succès et, après tant d’années dans le métier, il ne doutait plus de la maîtrise de son art. Têtu et obstiné, au plus il vieillissait, au plus il s’enfermait dans ce qu’il savait faire avec une méfiance souvent indue envers toute forme de nouveauté. Mais il avait quand même bon fond et il ne voulait pas qu’on garde de lui l’image d’un vieux grincheux qui était resté dans son coin pendant que tout le monde allait de l’avant. Alors, il les avait essayés ces drôle de pigments “magiques” dont on n’avait cessé de lui parler. Et il avait été littéralement bluffé. Sa peinture était manifestement tout aussi réussie que s’il avait utilisé ses bons vieux pigments. La couleur était toute aussi vive, la matière s’imprégnait tout aussi bien sur la toile. Il n’arrivait presque pas à y croire. Et pourtant, il venait bien de peindre avec d’anciens vêtements ! Enfin, des anciens vêtements qu’on avait broyés puis réduits en poudre pour pouvoir en extraire les pigments et les utiliser ensuite en peinture… Le fait est qu’on avait su trouver une solution au problème des déchets textiles, qui prenaient de plus en plus de place sur la planète, en leur attribuant un nouvel usage. Décidément, il existait bel et bien dans ce monde des génies qui étaient capables d’inventer des choses incroyables ! Et lui était fier de pouvoir mettre en avant leurs idées avec ses propres talents : la peinture ! Idiot aurait été-t-il de croire que l’art ne pouvait pas évoluer, que le monde ne pouvait pas se réinventer et que tout était mieux avant. Sa peinture imprégnée de ces pigments insolites pouvait en témoigner : une nouvelle ère commençait qu’il espérait aussi belle que la nouvelle vie de ces vieux vêtements.
