Implications - The rise of environmentalism has inspired fashion consumers to look for items that contain organic, sustainable or recycled materials.

Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by embracing environmentally safe manufacturing processes and using sustainable or renewable materials such as cork and bamboo.
