In order to balance out the environmental and social resources needed to create garments, clothes need to be used more and disposed of less. However as clothes are worn for longer, and succumb to natural wear and tear, consumers are less inclined to repair them (either by themselves or using a service) due to lack of sewing skills and low prices of new clothing. Today, it is often more affordable for consumers to buy new than repair old.\u003C/p>","\u003Cp>Patagonia is an outdoor clothing brand headquartered in the United States. In autumn 2015, the company started its Worn Wear program under the motto “Repair is a Radical Act,” an initiative started by CEO Rose Marcario. The program aims to explain to customers the value of preserving clothes by repairing them instead of buying new. Patagonia’s environmentally friendly campaign aims to counter fast fashion trends and increasing demand for new clothes, by encouraging quality standards that produce clothes designed to last.\u003C/p>","\u003Cp>To prevent clothing being discarded before their lifespan was up, Patagonia's Worn Wear programme extends producer responsibility beyond the purchase phase, and asks their consumers to join them in mutual responsibility to take care of their clothes.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The repair programme encourages consumers to attempt repairs themselves, through a partnership with iFixit, a platform dedicated to free repair guides.
