Yarakai's 95% Goal: A Future Free from Plastic
The world's oceans are in a state of emergency. According to research estimates, over 14 million tonnes of microplastics have accumulated on the ocean floors, and this number is increasing every year. This alarming rate of pollution is causing irreversible harm to marine ecosystems, aquatic life, and ultimately, human health.
At Yarakai, we recognise the gravity of this environmental crisis and are committed to being part of the solution.
The Fast Fashion Culprit: A Cycle of Pollution
Did you know that up to 35% of all microplastics released into the oceans come from synthetic textiles? Annually, an alarming 200,000 to 500,000 tonnes of microplastics from textiles infiltrate the global marine environment.
Fast fashion is a significant contributor to the microplastic crisis. The industry, driven by consumer demand for cheap, disposable clothing, produces garments that are not built to last. These low-quality items wear out quickly and are often discarded after a few uses. Each time these garments are washed, they release a high volume of microplastics into our water systems.
Yarakai aims to disrupt this harmful cycle by focusing on the production of high-quality, long-lasting products with the use of natural fibers that have a minimal impact on the environment.
The Yarakai Difference: 95% Plastic-Free
At Yarakai, we're deeply committed to environmental sustainability, but we also understand the complexities of product manufacturing. While our ultimate goal is to create 95% plastic-free products, we recognise that certain quality standards may necessitate minimal plastic usage. Every piece of plastic incorporated into our products is carefully considered and absolutely essential for maintaining our high-quality standards.
​
We are continually researching and innovating to minimize plastic use wherever possible, without compromising on the excellence you've come to expect from the Yarakai brand.
Our 95% plastic-free initiative is not just a target but a journey towards a more sustainable future.
​
We are actively seeking to form partnerships with companies and individuals who share our vision for a sustainable, plastic-free future. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey, a journey that aims to set a new standard for environmental responsibility in the industry.
