Let’s be real!
Fast fashion had its run. Cheap, trendy clothes popping up every week felt fun... until we realized the true cost wasn’t on the tag, it was on the planet. As consumers get wiser and the Earth gets louder, a new era is unfolding: conscious fashion.
And right at the heart of this movement in the Middle East and Gulf region? You guessed it Canna Piece.
The Problem With Fast Fashion
Fast fashion is designed to fall apart. It thrives on speed, low wages, and disposable trends. But the numbers don’t lie:
92 million tons of textile waste are dumped globally every year.
Polyester, found in over 60% of clothing, takes up to 200 years to decompose.
The fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions — more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.
Still feel like grabbing that 20 AED shirt?
Fabric Face-Off: Polyester vs. Cotton vs. Plant-Based Alternatives
Let’s break it down:
| Fabric | Water Use (per kg) | Carbon Footprint (kg CO₂e/kg) | Biodegradable? | Sustainability Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester | ~0 | ~9.52 | ❌ | 🟢🟢⚪⚪⚪ |
| Cotton | ~10,000L | ~2.1 | ✅ | 🟢🟢🟢⚪⚪ |
| Hemp / Plant-Based | ~2,600L | ~1.6 | ✅ | 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪ |

Compared to thirsty cotton and fossil-fuel-based polyester, plant-powered fibers (like hemp, bamboo, or regenerative botanicals) use less water, fewer chemicals, and are 100% biodegradable. That’s a win-win for you and the Earth.
