24. Most Eco-Friendly Fashion Supply Chain Enterprise - Italy Fashion – the one medium that’s capable of reviving bygone eras and breathing new life into old styles. And yet, it’s an industry that unfortunately finds itself struggling to avoid the ever-pressing issue of waste that’s reared its head across multiple markets. Unlike others, however, the versatility that comes with textiles allows it to be reimagined and reintroduced into the world of fashion, regardless of its original form. As its name suggests, Second Life is a pioneer of textile recovery – a collective that has dedicated itself to guiding the industry towards a sustainable, yet fashionable, future. Having already spared over a million kilograms of textiles from landfills across Italy, Second Life is an eco-friendly fashion supply chain enterprise whose passion for reinventing the ways in which we view well-loved bags, shoes, and accessories has already made a staggering difference within the industry. As opposed to simply discarding cherished bags, shoes, and accessories once they have outlived their use, individuals can offer up their items to Second Life in the hopes that they can receive a second chance. And with such a carefully mapped process of restoring bags, shoes, and accessories, and possibly transforming them entirely, Second Life is more than capable of delivering on its promise of introducing the world to eco-friendly fashion options. “Second Life is a cutting-edge company in the textile recovery sector, specialized in the selection and regeneration of footwear, leather goods and accessories - parts with the worst environmental footprint.” Having become synonymous with a devoted determination to drastically reduce the amount of waste produced by the textile industry as a whole, Second Life actively promotes sustainability throughout its practices. It tirelessly works to reduce the immense impact of textile waste on the environment, and has gone above and beyond to create solutions that really work. Avoiding landfill is its goal, which has resulted in over 5.5 million bags, shoes, and accessories being returned to the second hand market. This staggering achievement has already placed Second Life on the map, and yet it’s clear that it’s only the beginning for this exceptional enterprise. Second Life is an ardent believer in giving textiles another chance to shine, whether in the form of a cheaper accessory or a deluxe vintage item. Be it a mass-produced product, or a unique collector’s item that has been lost to time, the collective prides itself on its ability to create something new from something old. Once this process has been executed to the highest degree of quality, it returns these pieces to the market so they may enjoy another life with an entirely new owner. Second Life stands as Europe’s definitive entity for achieving such results, placing it on quite the pedestal within the textile industry. Its drive to change the environmental impact that handbag, shoe, and accessory waste has is astonishing, and it has already kickstarted a global transition to reusing and recycling the textiles of days passed. Additionally, Second Life leverages its unique client base to help spread its message of sustainability within the industry. Offering rental services to professionals within the fashion world – from fashion bloggers, photographers, and cinema costume designers to cultural institutions such as fashion and costume museums – Second Life is able to actively promote a notion that most may only be casually aware of, and helps them recognize the boundless potential of textile recycling. In doing so, it has collected a reputation for being Europe’s spokesperson on the matter, with its services playing a crucial role in how the industry approaches environmental awareness. It's for this very reason that we, at EU Business News, are delighted to bring some attention to this aspirational collective. Second Life believes in second chances, which has allowed it to consistently raise the number of items that have been saved from a lifetime in a landfill. In doing so, not only has Second Life kickstarted the pursuit of a more sustainable future, but it has reignited hope within designers that their products will be given the chance to persist throughout the years to come.
