To Boohoo Group

Petition text

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. The use of single-use plastic in fast fashion means our landfill, oceans and subsequently marine life are overwhelmed with discarded, non-reusable plastic waste. In 2019 Boohoo Group was named one of the least eco-friendly fashion companies, yet their sales have soured up 44 percent since the Coronavirus lockdown. Our generation has a responsibility as consumers to hold corporations such as Boohoo Group to account over their excessive use of plastic packaging and materials.

Boohoo Group's current environmental rating by Good on You Eco is 'not good enough'. Our campaign agrees with this, and as a result we are asking Boohoo to urgently work towards change, under three actions: Reduce, Redesign and Restart. For more ethical fashion and to #WipeOutWastedPlastic.

1. Reduce - A 50 percent reduction of single-use plastic packaging and inessential items by 2025 and 80 percent by 2030.

2. Redesign - Replace 80 percent of single-use plastic packaging to biodegradable packaging. Use social media platforms to raise awareness for climate change and the impact of plastic pollution.

3. Restart - Increase transparency about ethical practices and how Boohoo is working towards reducing plastic waste. Create alliances with organisations like 'Rethink Plastic' and 'Break Free From Plastic'

Fast fashion is continues to grow as a top contributor to the climate crisis. Boohoo Group, as the owner of so many brands, are disproportionately churning out wasted plastic, and change is needed more than ever. We are appealing to you to sign this open letter to create a more sustainable future of fashion and to #WipeOutWastedPlastic starting with Boohoo Group.

Thank you :)
