Data on cashmere

 

16.07 kilograms of carbon emissions are released for every kilogram of knitted cashmere fabric that is produced for the fashion industry.

65% of Mongolia’s grasslands have been degraded due to cashmere goat grazing and global warming, with methane from goats contributing to this issue.

To produce one cashmere sweater, a full year of growth from four goats who are combed is required, making cashmere slow and inefficient.
