Srinagarindra Train Night MarketPhoto: teve_bb on InstagramNope, you won’t find any trains passing by this market.

Fast fashion, or clothing rapidly produced by mass-market retailers in response to latest fashion trends, has long been criticised for its negative impact on the environment. These fashion items are often inexpensive and not made to last. In recent years, however, there has been a growing awareness of these issues, leading to the rise of sustainable fashion in Singapore.Sustainable fashion refers to clothing and accessories that are produced using eco-friendly materials and ethical production methods. It also aims to minimise waste and reduce the carbon footprint of the fashion industry. Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable fashion, and Singapore is no exception.Image Source: Ryan McVay/Getty ImagesOne reason for the rise of sustainable fashion in Singapore is the government's commitment to sustainability. In 2015, the Sustainable Singapore Blueprint was launched, which included a focus on sustainable fashion. The blueprint aimed to reduce waste and increase recycling rates, and to promote the use of eco-friendly materials in the fashion industry.The rise of sustainable fashion in Singapore presents opportunities for local designers and brands to differentiate themselves in a crowded market. These brands and designers are committed to using sustainable and eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled fabrics. They also prioritise fair labour practices and ethical production methods.For example, The Green Collective SG is a retail store that houses various eco-friendly brands, including sustainable fashion labels such as Etrican and Matter Prints. Etrican uses organic cotton, linen, and bamboo fabrics, while Matter Prints uses handwoven fabrics and natural dyes. Image Source: @thegreencollective.sg on InstagramWhile not a homegrown brand, Tencel, which uses sustainable fabrics made from eucalyptus trees to create their clothing has also gained a loyal following among consumers who value sustainability and ethical production.Events such as the Singapore Eco Film Festival and Fashion Revolution Week have also helped to raise awareness of sustainable fashion in Singapore. The Singapore Eco Film Festival features documentaries and films that focus on environmental issues, including the impact of the fashion industry on the environment. Fashion Revolution Week, on the other hand, is an annual event that promotes ethical and sustainable fashion practices.The rise of sustainable fashion in Singapore reflects a growing awareness and concern for the environment and a desire to live a more conscious and mindful way of life. With the support of the government and the emergence of sustainable fashion brands and initiatives, it is clear that sustainable fashion is here to stay in Singapore.If you are a fan of supporting homegrown labels, we have a guide below on 12 homegrown brands with unique fashion and gifts.12 Local Brands to Support in Singapore: Homegrown Labels for Unique Fashion and GiftsCover image by Arturo Rey on Unsplash.

Imagine this. You are gobbling down your scrumptious chicken rice with copious amounts of the indispensable garlic chilli sauce and you take a swig of water from your water bottle. At the end of the day, like any other days, you rinse your water bottle and leave it to dry. We can only imagine the kind of party the germs and bacteria must be having in your water bottle while you were asleep.Do you know your reusable water bottle can contain twice as many germs as the kitchen sink, and four times the amount of bacteria as a computer mouse? Keeping a water bottle clean is essential to maintain good hygiene and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. However, many people do not know how to clean their water bottles properly. Here are some tips on how to clean your water bottle correctly.1. Choose the right water bottleThe first step to keeping your water bottle clean is to choose the right one. Look for water bottles made of materials like stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free plastic. These materials are easier to clean and less likely to harbour bacteria than other materials.Stainless steel tumblers are less likely to harbour bacteria. Image credit: Bluewater Sweden on Unsplash2. Wash your water bottle after each useAfter using your water bottle, rinse it with warm water and dish soap. Use a bottle brush to scrub the inside of the bottle thoroughly. Rinse it again with warm water to remove any remaining soap.3. Use vinegar or baking sodaIf your water bottle has a strong odour or stains, use vinegar or baking soda to clean it. Fill the bottle with equal parts water and vinegar or water and baking soda and let it sit overnight. Rinse the bottle thoroughly with warm water in the morning.4. Don't use abrasive cleanersAvoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to clean your water bottle. These can damage the bottle's surface and leave harmful chemicals behind.5. Dry your water bottle properlyMake sure to dry your water bottle completely after washing it. Use a clean towel or air dry it upside down to prevent moisture from collecting inside.6. Clean the parts that come into contact with saliva properlyMost water bottle openings have grooves for the lids to tighten against. These parts tend to harbour the most bacteria since they come into contact with your saliva and whatever you have been eating. Dab a soft sponge with some soap and clean the grooves thoroughly. Rinse with warm water.Cleaning our bottles daily should be a no brainer. After all our bottle is probably the one thing our lip comes into contact with the most in any given day. Hooked onto cleaning?
