Breath, water, food, shelter, and clothing—these are the foundation of human needs. At ECOLOGYST, we make clothing and we take great pride in fulfilling this essential. It is only recently in human history that we have become disconnected from who actually makes our clothing and how and with what it is made. Restoring this connection is our work and fundamental to how we contribute to restoring harmony between people and the planet. Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment; it seeks to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around them. We have taken this all-encompassing approach to our work over the past twenty years of studying the clothing ecosystem. This ensures a respect for all that are part of the given system. It's no secret that what has become the standard in the clothing manufacturing system is broken. Our research has led us to simple solutions. Although simple and sometimes obvious on the surface, these practices do require the dismantling of complex systems and the rebuilding of new ones to allow for a more regenerative standard to become the norm.Ecologyst is a B Corporation Certified business, and we are working towards the long term vision of decarbonizing the fashion supply chain ecosystem—one of the largest legacy industries ripe for change.
