The Woolmark Company launches the Filter by Fabric initiative to end this confusion, urging all fashion brands, retailers, publishers and content creators to commit to clear, honest product names that accurately communicate fabric composition. The campaign also encourages consumers to ‘Filter by Fabric’ when shopping, focusing on the fabric’s impact and empowering them to make more informed and sustainably conscious decisions.

A recent independent YouGov study reveals that 77% of people believe clothing brands and retailers should clearly disclose fabric composition. However, this vital information is often hidden, misrepresented, or undisclosed.

The same study found that 60% of respondents would find sustainable choices easier if stores included fabric in the product name or allowed customers to filter by fabric.

A Simple Solution

By focusing on fabric consideration as a vital aspect of consumer purchases, Filter by Fabric accelerates the fashion industry’s movement toward transparency and sustainability.

John Roberts, Managing Director of The Woolmark Company, explains: “We need to clearly communicate the composition of fossil fuel-derived fabrics to prevent consumer deception. This simple, lasting action could initiate a significant transformation in the industry, encouraging transparency, responsibility, and mindful consumerism. Educating consumers is crucial for them to understand the importance of the information on apparel labels, similar to how they interpret food nutrition labels or appliance energy ratings.”

A Call for Real Change

Fashion brands, publishers, content creators and retailers can pledge their commitment at filterbyfabric.com, and consumers can sign the same pledge to demand accurate product labeling.

1. Citizens: Urge Retailers to Include a Filter by Fabric Option

By signing this pledge, you send a powerful message to the fashion industry to adopt truthful product descriptions and a Filter by Fabric option. This action equips shoppers with essential information, promoting transparency and accountability in the fashion industry.

2 Fashion Industry: Allow Customers to Filter by Fabric

We invite the fashion industry to collaborate in this united effort for more informed consumer choices. lodging your commitment to better fabric composition communication in product names showcases your dedication to responsible business practices. This move not only gains consumer trust but could also significantly reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

The Woolmark Company are thrilled to announce the following organizations who have already pledged their support for the campaign:

Through this event we want to showcase Visually Impaired Goddess Durga and Asur, Wheelchair bound Ganesh, Intellectual Disability Laxmi, Saraswati and Kartik. The purpose is to give a huge acknowledgement saying that disability is a special ability and I want to say to the world that this special ability needs to get its share of attention and inclusion in the main stream and on this auspicious occasion of Durga Puja, when Shakti is worshipped and celebrated. In the past we have launched the Braille Durga Puja Guide and Braille Display Stand for the Blinds.”

Speaking about the event, Sri. Sayan Deb Chatterjee, Joint Secretary of Hazra Park Durgotsab Committee said, “Generally, Puja awards are judged on the parameters of glamour, splendor, artwork and visual gimmicks. But now the criterion has been changed as it will also be judged on the grounds of facilities we offer to the physically challenged. Durga Puja is the biggest festival of West Bengal. The people of West Bengal enjoy the festival with great pomp. But people forget about the other part of the society who are differently able and also senior citizens.”

Speaking on the occasion Sri. Tapan Pattanayak, CEO of Saini Group said, “We know how resourceful and effective is NIP in their work field and it’s our honor to be associated with such a noble cause.
