CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Renewal is an organization that certifies fashion

brands on their supply chain, energy usage, water usage, material

sourcing, and end of life responsibility. It utilizes iconography

in conjunction with brand partnerships, to build upon existing

consumer trust, while also building its own brand. Renewal aims

so be a quiet assistant, popping up when it’s needed most, and

being a resource for those who get curious as to how their clothes

are made.

This design service is deeply routed in the primary research

findings from consumer surveys and expert interviews. Climate

change is a present day threat, and tremendous obstacle we will

all face globally. The fashion industries supply chain is complex

and far reaching, impacting all corners of the world. In order to

stimulate change, because we live in a capitalist society, the power

lays in the consumers hands. Renewal was designed to empower

and assist consumers in their journey in navigating a variety of

mis labeling and green washing in the fashion industry. An all in

one trust worthy source, but also a desirable brand, leaning into

the trend driven society to make positive change.

CONCLUSION

Next Steps

As Renewal is established, the next steps would be

to have publicity partnerships with prominent brands

to boost Renewal’s name. In addition, as it’s platform

grew, it would branch out into a mobile app to increase

convenience and accessibility. Furthermore, Renewal’s

long term goal is to work with the government to

establish stronger legislation to force the hands of

corporations and their harmful practices.
