With the theme for #EarthDay2022 being 'Invest in Our Planet', it is time we as individuals turn toward mindful purchases, whether in terms of fashion, accessories, beauty, home decor, etc. Even the smallest of changes can make a big difference if done by a majority. Within India itself, several sustainable brands cater to various aspects of life that we as consumers should consciously invest in; to lead a better life. We have curated a list of brands you might want to check out and support if you're looking to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
8 sustainable homegrown brands to support starting #EarthDay2022:

This #EarthDay2022, take a step towards being eco-conscious by supporting Doodlage and its efforts toward upcycling factory waste into short limited edition collections by purchasing your next clothing item or accessory from them. They use recycled post-consumer waste and post cutting scraps to create new fabrics and finished garments. All the other waste is further converted into accessories, soft furnishing products and paper to create their packaging or stationery— all made ethically. Apart from clothing, one can also purchase other items like footwear, bags & wallets, stationery, and more!

Several homegrown brands are getting into the sustainable fashion space, the majority being work-wear, home wear or something to wear when you go out. Fitness is one other aspect that many are into, so while we dress up consciously for different occasions, why not keep fitness in mind, too? In honour of #EarthDay2022, you can now support fitness/athletic wear with Stretchery, the first indigenous activewear brand that reconciles comfort, style, and conscience. Products crafted using 100% organic cotton, Stretchery offers activewear that is luxuriously soft and made of high-quality fabric while being eco-friendly and conscious.

Along with conscious fashion, another way to 'Invest in Our Planet' this #EarthDay2022 is by supporting sustainable beauty brands too. Many homegrown brands are eco-conscious and follow clean beauty norms— asa Beauty being one of them. The crux of this brand is that they allow refilling and recycling of products previously purchased through them. Rather than trashing their empties, the brand requests customers to send the empties to them so that they can recycle mindfully. It is India's first luxury clean beauty brand with refillable solutions.
