Consumers are demanding that brand's be held accountable for the environmental impact they have, leading sustainable brand's like ARKET to respond in creative ways -- recently announced is Arket's rental service, which enables consumers to borrow children's clothes.
Children's clothes are expensive, and typically only worn a few times before they're outgrown. As a result, parents are buying an average of 280 pieces. In fact, it's estimated that a child goes through eight different sizes in just the first two years of their life. Now, parents are able to make environmentally friendly and cost-effective clothing choices. The service was created in tandem with the clothing subscription service Circos, and can be accessed online through Arket's web store.
