Why we started neworn
The ongoing climate crisis in the world is soon reaching a point of no return, with clothing waste being responsible for 4% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
The fashion industry as a whole is responsible for 10% of the global carbon emissions and waste is something this industry often overlooks. Looking at the materials used, only 10% of the clothes are mare from recycled materials.
Every year, there is over 92 million tonnes of clothing waste globally, which drastically increases our carbon footprint.
In Austria alone 220.000 tons of clothing are wasted every year. Only 17% are recycled!
Especially for baby clothes the lifespan is very short.
Babies cycle through clothing sizes at a minimum of 7 times within their first two years of life. These clothes are thrown out at an alarming rate.
Caroline and Ole met during their studies in Barcelona through their passion for sustainability and entrepreneurial spirits. Soon after Neworn was born,
Our founders have made it their mission to enable parents to make the reuse of baby and kids clothing as easy as possible to contribute to a sustainable future for the next generations.
