Why is circularity crucial?
Why all this talk of circularity on the red carpet this season? Well, we believe it is crucial. Right now, we are in the Anthropocene, a man-driven era of unprecedented change, where humans are overusing the Earth’s biocapacity, the regenerative ability of our planet’s ecosystems by over 50%. This is like living off 1.5 Earths! […]

For many, the solution has been relying on the greener versions of traditional materials; perhaps the most popular is organic cotton, which is sustainably grown by using less water and […]
Fashion and Waste: What Are the Largest Landfills on Earth?
Let’s talk about landfills…
As we know, fashion is, unfortunately, one of the most wasteful industries in the world. The multiple yearly seasons and low quality of garments of fast fashion translate to lots of clothes and fabrics ending up in landfills. Fast fashion stores will directly throw away unsold pieces once the season is over, and many consumers quickly grow tired of the garments or simply dump them whenever a minor flaw appears. In the past two decades, the number of garments produced annually has doubled. In 2017, it was estimated that the fashion industry contributed 92 million tonnes of waste to the world’s landfills. We have no reason to believe these numbers have lowered in the time since, as online fast fashion retail soars.
On average, consumers throw away 60% of their clothes in their first year, and a truckload of textiles gets dumped into landfills every minute. There’s also an issue of waste within the luxury fashion industry: in 2018, it became public knowledge that Burberry had destroyed over £90 million worth of unsold items over five years, in an attempt to keep their prices high and their products exclusive.
All this waste piles up in landfills everywhere in the world. While we all understand the concept and have seen the occasional landfill throughout our lives, the locations and characteristics of the biggest ones aren’t as widely known. Out of the top 10 largest landfills on Earth, 3 are in China, 2 in the US, 2 in India, 1 in Mexico, 1 in South Korea, and 1 in Italy. They’re usually near large and highly-populated cities, as these are the places that generate the most waste.
In increasing order, these landfills are Xinfeng in Guangzhou, China (227 acres); West New Territories in Hong Kong (272 acres); Deonar in Mumbai, India (326 acres); Delhi Landfills in New Delhi, India (500 acres); Sudokwon in Incheon, South Korea (570 acres); Puente Hill in Los Angeles CA, USA (630 acres); Malagrotta in Rome, Italy (680 acres); Laogang in Shanghai, China (830 acres); Bordo Poniente in Mexico City, Mexico (927 acres); Apex Regional in Las Vegas NV, Isa(2,200 acres). Bear in mind that these lists can vary somewhat depending on the information provided by landfill owners and representatives, and we’ve taken into account the data from World Atlas. With that being said, let’s take a look at the five largest landfills in the world and how they’re handling their gas emissions.
1. Apex Regional (2,200 acres / 890 hectares)
It receives around 9,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day and can handle up to 15,000 tonnes daily. It opened in 1993 with a projected life of 250 years, and currently holds about 50 million tonnes of waste. It accounts for approximately 17.7% of US methane emissions.
Green measures
Apex’s methane feeds an 11-megawatt power plant that meets the energy needs of 10,000 homes in southern Nevada homes.
2. Bordo Poniente (927 acres / 373 hectares)
Bordo Poniente was established in 1985 to take debris from that year’s earthquake in Mexico City, and it was operative until 2011. In its heyday, it received 12,000 tonnes of waste daily, and it remains Latin America’s largest landfills. It currently holds around 70 million tonnes of waste.
Green measures
There are plans to tap into the landfill’s methane to produce 60 megawatts of electric power, which would eliminate 1.5 million tonnes of yearly gas emissions.
3. Laogang (830 acres / 335 hectares)
Laogang receives about 10,000 daily tonnes of municipal solid waste, which amounts to about half of Shanghai’s total waste.
Green measures
Its methane gas generates 102,189 MW-hours of green energy, covering the electric needs of 100,000 homes. In 2014, it was announced that Laogang’s methane emissions had been reduced by 25,800 metric tons, and also avoided 542,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
4. Malagrotta (680 acres / 255 hectares)
This Roman landfill takes between 4,500 and 5,000 tonnes of waste every day, numbers that make it the largest municipal solid waste landfill in continental Europe. It has a holding capacity of 60 million tonnes.
Green measures
There are plans to use Malagrotta’s methane for electricity and fuel, but so far the landfill has caused considerable environmental damage to the area where it’s located. Issues have included air contamination, soils poisoned from harmful chemicals, and underground aquifers.
5. Puente Hill (680 acres, 255 hectares)
Active between 1957 and 2013, Puente Hill received over 130 tonnes of municipal waste during its active life, and it was America’s largest landfill. In its heyday, it could receive up to 13,200 tonnes of daily waste.
Green measures
Puente Hill’s methane gas is currently used to turn a 50-megawatt power turbine that generates enough power to fulfill the power needs of 70,000 Southern California homes. The site is also being converted into a recreational regional park.
How do millennials really feel about sustainability?
For years, the media has touted millennials as being the most conscious generation to date. The people born between the early 80s and the mid-90s grew up far more aware of man-made climate change, and they were exposed from an early age to information about the environment and each individual’s impact on it. And while […]
THE A-Z OF SUSTAINABLE FASHION: F is for Fast Fashion
Fast fashion is the term used to describe clothing that is produced quickly and cheaply. Brands and retailers that engage in fast fashion often create products based on seasonal trends directly inspired by the runway. Fast fashion brands are generally associated with overproduction, low retail prices, mass waste, poor working conditions, and negative environmental impact. […]

- DELIVERY AND COLLECTION OF ENTRIES

No garments will therefore be created apart from the winning designs. Additionally, mailing garments around the world creates more environmental footprints and handling. It is also currently unsafe. The contest is solely an online and virtual contest, all operated through www.rcgdglobal.com.

A multi-disciplinary jury of experts is selected by the RCGD Global Design Contest 2021 in partnership with TENCEL™ and CLO. This jury will choose two winning designers – a gown and a suit.tuxedo.

Taryn’s Story
“I WENT GREEN WITH RCGD BECAUSE WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FABULOUS STYLE AND GOOD HEALTH.
Sustainable fashion means checking your care labels like a nutrition label and expecting more from brands. Consumers have the power to shift the fashion industry. Brands pay attention to what consumers desire because they do want your money. Transparency is key. #MakeShiftHappen A healthy open source supply chain has a positive effect on farmers, cutters, sewers, bleachers, washers, fabric dyers, nearby communities, retail employees, your family and you. #Whatsinyourtee Have you ever thought about the fabric that makes up your tee as ingredients the same way you think about the leaves that make up your tea? Tea is ingested through your mouth and your tee is ingested through your pore. ‘Your pores are like tiny little mouths, whatever you put on them they eat.’ This was why I chose MINK vegan pumps made of recycled paper when asked to support and style the RCGD Global/Reformation collection – No Red Carpet Needed.”

ECOUTERRE – VIVIENNE WESTWOOD TO JUDGE, MENTOR RED CARPET GREEN DRESS CONTEST
Need another reason to enter Suzy Amis Cameron’s “RCGD Global” competition? The annual talent search has recruited no less than Vivienne Westwood as a judge and mentor. The legendary British designer—and born-again “climate revolutionary”—will not only help choose a winning designer, but she’ll also work with him or her to bring the design to life for an as-yet-unnamed actress at the 85th Academy Awards in 2013. “We are at war with our environment and our future is unsteady,” Westwood says in a statement. “In order for a shift to occur we must make informed decisions to live more harmoniously with our planet, and I’ve joined RCGD Global because its message aligns with this idea.”
SEEING GREEN
Amis Cameron launched the competition in 2010 to find a gown to wear to the 82nd Academy Awards, where her husband, Avatar director James Cameron, was up for nine awards. Chief among her requirements was a look that combined both style and sustainability. Read more
Entries pouring in!
Hi guys,
I am so excited, the entries are pouring in from across the globe including from across the globe including Ghana, China and the USA. One of these amazing designs is going to be created under the guidance of Dame Vivienne Westwood herself. I even got an email from a talented little 11 year old, although she can not enter due to her age I will be sharing her entry with you later this month because she blew me away!
How exciting!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
