The fashion industry uses 1.3 Billion barrels of oil every year
How much of that oil made the clothes in your wardrobe?
Use our handy calculator to find out. How many items of clothing do you own?
Did you know? 62% of new clothes in our wardrobes are made from man-made synthetic fabrics. Over 1.3 billion barrels of oil are used to make these clothes every year. That’s more than all of Spain's annual usage!
With over 80 billion new clothing items produced annually, that means 50 billion items of clothing are made with oil every single year.
1.3 billion barrels = over 200 billion litres of oil
That's enough to fill 81,250 Olympic swimming pools with oil every single year.
Or 1 every 25 minutes.
Isn't that just crazy?
All this oil being used to make clothes while our planet suffers!

How many barrels of oil does your wardrobe contain?
Most fast-fashion clothes are made from petrochemicals. These clothes contain harmful chemicals, plastic particles, toxic polymers, shed microplastics and can lead to serious health problems. When our clothes are polluting our planet, heating our atmosphere, contaminating our water, we need sustainable fashion. This is Unfolded is an alternative to fast fashion that is good for the planet and supports positive change for the future. We create sustainable basics, dresses and pyjamas, and our latest eco-friendly clothing collection is out now.
