PROTECT THE EARTH & ITS INHABITANTS.

 

< THE MAJORITY OF PLANETARY ASYLUM 'S OFFERINGS WILL BE PRODUCED "ON-DEMAND" MEANING EVERY GARMENT WILL BE MADE-TO-ORDER, DRASTICALLY LOWERING THE WASTE ONE BRAND'S SUPPLY CHAIN PRODUCES EACH YEAR.

​

< IN SOME EXCEPTIONS, SMALL DOMESTIC PRODUCTION RUNS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF INVENTORY AT UNDERGROUND IN-PERSON EVENTS AROUND THE UNITED STATES.

​

< INCREASED DEMAND FOR CHEAP CLOTHING IN THE UNITED STATES HAS CAUSED A DRASTIC SHIFT IN DOMESTIC APPAREL PRODUCTION MOVING OVERSEAS, WITH ABOUT 3% OF CLOTHES BEING DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED TODAY -- DOWN FROM 95% IN THE 1960s. WHILE THE COST TO PRODUCE A GARMENT HAS INCREASED, WAGES AND WORKING CONDITIONS HAVE NOT KEPT PACE. PRODUCING COLLECTIONS DOMESTICALLY WITH DOMESTIC MATERIALS WILL HELP PROTECT THE GARMENT INDUSTRY WORKER AS WELL AS PARTICIPATE IN THE RENEWED GROWTH OF THE DOMESTIC APPAREL INDUSTRY.

​

< SUSTAINABLE EFFORTS INCLUDE:

<< IMPLEMENTING ON-DEMAND PRODUCTION MODELS

<< SOURCING ORGANIC & RECYCLED RAW MATERIALS

<< USING NON-TOXIC PRINTING METHODS

<< PRODUCING COLLECTIONS IN LIMITED NUMBERS TO LIMIT WASTED INVENTORY

<< VETTING MANUFACTURING PARTNERS TO ENSURE ETHICAL LABOR PRACTICES AND HEALTHY WORKING CONDITIONS

​

< IN THE UNITED STATES, THE AVERAGE PERSON GENERATES 82 LBS OF TEXTILE WASTE YEARLY -- OVER 11 MILLION TONS OF TEXTILE WASTE GOES TO LANDFILLS FROM THE U. S. ALONE. FOR PLANETARY ASYLUM, FASHION IS NOT DISPOSABLE. ALL GARMENTS ARE THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED TO AGE WELL.
