Why rethinking textile waste matters
Global clothing production has roughly doubled since 2000, yet the average garment is now worn about 36% less than it was fifteen years ago, with some pieces set aside after as few as seven to ten wears. (Estimate: Ellen MacArthur Foundation, A New Textiles Economy, 2017) Scrapplique Galore has spent years working directly with textile waste and upcycling in Singapore. This guide draws on that experience to help you keep what you already own in use longer, repair with confidence, and shop with a clearer sense of what actually lasts.
How sustainable is your wardrobe?
Ten quick questions. There's no failing grade here — just an honest starting point to build from.
The knowledge behind the habits
Everything here is sourced — look for the citation under each card.
Read the label like you mean it
Tap a fibre to see what it is, where it holds up, and where it doesn't. Terms like "often" and "conventionally" flag general tendencies, not universal rules — always check the specific garment.
From waste to possibility
Circular fashion isn't only about buying differently — it's also about asking, of something you already own: what can this material become? This is the practical pathway Scrapplique Galore, a circular fashion design and upcycling solutions social enterprise based in Singapore, uses when working with textile waste.
What would you actually do?
Eight everyday moments. Pick your instinct, then see the sustainability trade-offs and the reasoning behind them.
Turn this on your own wardrobe
Rough numbers are fine — this is about the shape of your wardrobe, not a perfect inventory.
Seven small shifts, one wardrobe
Do these in order or out of order — check off each day as you complete it.
Two tools for the garment in your hand
Pick the garment you're holding and we'll suggest a project you can actually make from it. Skill level and desired product are optional — leave them blank to see every idea for that garment.
