Much is said about the environmental impact and sustainability of our clothes. Which fibres are good, which are not so good. Should we upcycle, recycle, downcycle, send to landfill or wear them threadbare? What role do chemicals play, and are they all good?

Ingun researches sustainable textiles, clothing, laundry and leisure consumption and has written numerous articles and books of these themes.The answers to the questions above are both startling and uncomfortable!Norwegian:Find more information about Ingun Grimstad Klepp and her research hereHer two most recent books for consumers:Lettstelt - about how we should wash out clothesLettkledd - about what really goes into the making of our clothesNick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.
