Panaprium is a unique online directory and search engine dedicated to helping consumers discover sustainable and ethical fashion brands.
The platform was designed to enable shoppers to make more informed and ethical decisions while looking for new clothing. Moreover, according to the company, Panaprium was created in an effort to combat the pervasiveness of "greenwashing" within the fashion industry (i.e., brand's posturing as sustainable without credibility).
In addition to offering users a useful search engine for looking up brands, Panaprium implements a sustainability rating system that it used to score clothing labels based on their social, environmental, and economic sustainability. As of right now, the directory includes scores for hundreds of apparel, footwear, and accessory brands. Not only does the platform empower consumers to educate themselves and support sustainability through their purchases, but it also serves to encourage key industry players to adopt more ethical practices.
