Join the world’s largest study on clothing usage and waste

Be a part of the sustainable fashion revolution with LAYBL

A pioneering effort for sustainability in fashion

LAYBL is looking to conduct the world’s largest clothing usage and waste analysis study, and is seeking direct to consumer fashion brands to take part.

We are seeking forward-looking, socially conscious brands to work with us, and our goal is to create a comprehensive 12-month snapshot of what actually happens to garments once they find a place in consumers' lives.

Together, with consumers, we want to shed light on the real impact of clothing usage and waste in the consumer phase.

A white woman in a short tan coloured dress walks past modern architecture, her eyes closed as if in bliss and the wind blowing her her in front of her. A black male walks past an old residential colonial style door with concrete steps, he's wearing black jeans, white trainers and a camel coloured overcoat. He's carrying a black leather holdall and appears to walking across the frame briskly.

Why is this needed?

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable fashion, the focus has predominantly been on refining the supply chain.

However, a crucial piece of the sustainability puzzle often remains overlooked: the life of garments after they leave the store. It's here, in the hands of consumers, where clothing embarks on its true journey, one that is rich with possibilities yet largely uncharted.
