to cope with our growing population we've tripled our exploitation of natural resources in just 40 years as a result of the fast expansion of mining industrial scale farming fishing and other human activities natural ecosystems have lost nearly half the area and 1000000 plant and animal species a facing extinction without the ecological nets works which regulate our planet's from cleaning and water to providing food we simply cannot survive. but there is still time we meet the pioneers striving to protect 2 of our most valuable remaining ecosystems. brydon sweden where an inventive clothing company is using groundbreaking technology to fight before station and i'm a man to borrow in tacking where one man is fighting to protect a wetlands haven for migrating birds.

the fashion industry is worth $1.00 trillion dollars every year check so when your partner is making billions of garments why only be born once a choice before. ending up in landfills the so-called fast fashion is incredibly resource intensive and perhaps surprisingly one of the key dryly is biodiversity loss and deforestation. i'm in sweden where one company is working on a green solution to this global problem but 1st i want to understand the impact of fast fashion. so just 20 kilometers of say it's still cool is to try to meet me in the forest a forest that we're on our way there to meet the cool write a book she's conservationist and she's on a mission to take ancient forests around the world to them it's. great to see you thanks so much we come to stockholm to do
6:40 am
a story about fashion why everyone for it so there's 150000000 trees that disappear every year into the clothing that we all wear and slated to double within the next decade i have never heard of that connection between the train and fashion and and the forestry the overall it's not an intuitive flick that something that soft and soaking extra skin and actually it starts off as a tree many of these trees come from endangered forests thousands of years old known as primary forests around the world 50 percent already being lost due to human impacts such as logging. nicole brown's canopy and organization dedicated to protecting those to the main it's a complete breakdown of the ecological function of that area and is a massive release of carbon into the atmosphere and disrupts species have attacks

even though trees can grow back into them in danger of farce or clay simple. after the forest to clear the wood is poked and processed into fabrics cold rain on and viscous but it's shockingly wasteful. as much as 70 percent of the harvested wood is dumped or incinerated. just 30 percent ends up in the gods to be where. kind of people works with businesses that source from primary forests to find green alternatives one of their main focal points is the global fashion industry what's your strategy how are you going to make a difference in this my experience is that it's some of the speed global brands they have the ability to actually engage their suppliers to stop them from logging in ancient and endangered forest ecosystems and if we can redirect it to be more sustainable now using recycled fabrics ending up in landfill and for the current capacity that's already in production let's just make sure it's not coming from
6:42 am
really important ancient endangered forestry chance. so you're talking about kind of a 2 prong approach one is the kind of conservation stopping that deforestation in the 1st place and the 2nd one is this recycling element so reusing what's already been produced so that's a big priority for canopy is to really help kick start commercial scale production on things next generation solutions like recycle clothing being used a confession to make have to get thermal because i was terrified we're going to freeze and i looked at the label in the way here is that there it's 3 percent there we go i wouldn't feel bad i was surprised when i 1st discovered the link between ancient and endangered far some discos. can appear helping to transform the fashion industry. one of their partners is a recycling company in the town of christian home called. they've invented a pioneering technology that promises to transform textile manufacturing. became of

age in 2014 when a catwalk modeled on that yellow dress made from 100 percent chemically research group fabrics the 1st time. c.e.o. mattie's johnson has offered to show me how old works. starts right at the beginning yes this is coach consumer this is this is jeans blue jeans that people have a where the chair and them just both off so what's next for this it goes into our friend area that is the protests in a dry state where we separate any home and then it goes into what stage we just sold it didn't just lowering that we would take out some of the color we bleach and then we draw it what would be happening in itself if you guys weren't using it you approach it most of it would be a lamp failed or. we're getting from evil no from you guys i think if we don't weed
6:44 am
in the machine i think both of them break. every stage of the process is being carefully considered. the dice and chemicals are all recyclable. in the water as we used to. after the drawing process the fabric is pristine packed into people 8 sheets. surprising can expect to see the end product this is. the basis contains a lot of sentiment that's one of those really good start for making gold fiber. this is to roma to you from which the fiscus fabric is finally made. and this is the best job you can put it like a normal fiber then you got done with it could be woven into any our clothing. when we go here this is the famous yellow dress this is the world's 1st chemically recycled piece of garment well ok it's made from blue jeans you know from the same
6:45 am
stuff it doesn't look like a would be environmentally friendly garment this looks like any other garment you would see in the high street absolutely and that's why we are not necessarily call this recycling we call it absolutely right. i mean so. but we're seeing here when you sell hoping to open another 3 plants within the next 5 years manufacturers are taking steps towards reducing the pressure on primary forests for all this to make a real difference that needs to be demand and that demand starts here high street. we are aware that there is a connection between the fashion industry and deforestation actually do nothing to both of you know what frisco's it's. you know it's synthetic material right. think material but you know where it comes from no i know you're aware of this connection between the fashion industry and the floor space and no i have no idea.
6:46 am
but judging by these shoppers there's some way to go before awareness to drive to my. organization kind of be working to bring suppliers like we knew so together with brands can stalk their products big fashion brands they are driving a lot of the the problems that we're seeing how do you dress that sure seems to be a bit of a disconnect the clothing touches all of our lives on a daily basis it produces 100000000000 gallons every year it has a big footprint and i do not have a big footprint when you're that big and it's exactly because of that reason that we need them to be part of the solution so it's fun to be here i think on on high street name a tween and canopies brand partners kampala and who are part of $170.00 plus brands that we're working with in the fashion sector to transform the discourse around supply chain so you said you've been working with them and we see some of
6:47 am
the stuff you've been working on yeah absolutely let's just go inside and have a look. kind of the success is growing all the time because who soon every store will stock research clothing. so this is a frac of clothing that has a variety of different environmental quality. so this product here is really interesting as far as you can tell just a pair of denim jeans that's got 20 percent recycled cotton review so we saw them producing a kind of a feedstock which was 100 percent recycled cotton do you think we're going to get to that point i do and i think you know in the short term this is what's available today and when you sell is hopefully next season it's clothing so that this moves from having 20 percent recycled cotton to 100 percent recycled. recently partnered with the new so to support continuing research this is part of the clothing joints plates to use 100 percent sustainably source of clothing by 2030 which should be
6:48 am
praised the same cost as non-sustainable items and in-store customers are encouraged to drop of unwanted garments to be recycled by companies like would you sell. i'm quite serious to see if there's anything in here if there's that's the 1000000000 euro look at that they can be any quotes they can be any brands of clothing we have been working with big global retailers and designers on ensuring that this recycling program actually continues to increase so that it gets fed back into the calling supply chain and ultimately becomes the next season's fashion so literally kind of closing the loop on it that's where we want to get that's that's where we want to get to. discovering the link between the.
