The world of fashion is constantly changing. New styles and trends can be hot one day and gone the next. One of the more interesting trends in recent years, known as "eco-fashion," is slowly working its way into clothing stores and fashion shows around the world.
Eco-fashion, also called "sustainable fashion," comes in many forms. In general, it takes into account the health of the environment, the health of consumers, and the well-being of designers and factory workers. Eco-fashion companies might use recycled materials to make their products. While other companies throw away tons of scrap material each year, eco-companies turn these scraps into usable fabrics for their designs. Some designers take secondhand clothes and turn them into 'new" garments. There are also those who incorporate things like recycled rubber, recycled plastic, and even coffee grounds into their clothing.
If wearing recycled clothing doesn't suit you, you'll be happy to learn that some eco-clothing companies use original materials that are both natural and sustainable. From underwear made from bamboo to dresses made from banana leaves, these products contain no harmful dyes and bleaches or materials that pollute the environment.
時尚界不斷地在變化。新的流行樣式和潮流可能今天還很熱門，但下一刻就退流行了。近年來有一種比較有趣的潮流稱為「環保時尚」，正慢慢地走進全球各地的服裝店和時裝秀中。
環保時尚又稱為「永續時尚」，有多種形式。大致來說，它將環境健康、消費者健康以及設計師和工廠工人的福祉列入考量。環保時尚公司可能會利用回收材料來製作產品。其他公司每年丟棄好幾噸的廢棄布料，而環保公司把這些碎布變成設計圖案可用的布料。有些設計師會把二手衣變成「新的」服飾。也有些人會將回收橡膠、回收塑料，甚至是咖啡渣這類物品加入衣物中。
如果你不喜歡穿回收衣服，你會很開心得知有些環保服飾公司使用天然且具永續性的原始材料。這些產品從竹製的內衣褲到香蕉葉製成的洋裝都有，它們不含有害的染料和漂白劑或污染環境的材質。
