Print On Demand (POD) is a process that dropships products to customers <\/span>only when the company receives an order<\/span><\/strong>. In other words, the manufacturing process of these products starts only after a customer has placed an order and made a purchase.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

But many of you might wonder, why is this an important term<\/strong> that you should know about and look for when you shop.<\/p>

<\/p>

Why is this process different than the usual manufacturing?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Good question! The differences in these processes mainly tackles an environmental issue that the rise of slow fashion has been trying to solve. <\/span>10% of the world\u2019s GHG emissions <\/span><\/strong>comes from the fashion industry. <\/span>Fast fashion is guilty<\/span><\/strong> of the over-production of clothes that overfill warehouses and eventually <\/span>85% of fashion waste ends up being disposed of in landfills<\/span><\/strong> when its rendered obsolete by the \u201ccurrent trends\u201d. This causes a huge problem as clothing in landfills <\/span>emits methane and pollutes the soil and waters<\/span><\/strong> with plastic and chemicals while decomposing, hence harming our beloved environment.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Slow fashion<\/span><\/strong> steps in to replace that process by only <\/span>producing what you want when you need it<\/span><\/strong>. This means, products are made in <\/span>real-time<\/span><\/em> when an order has been placed, therefore, no over-production waste.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Not only that, but as part of <\/span>Skicho\u2019s Sustainability Stand<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/u> our products are designed to be returned and remade again and again (<\/span>they are recyclable!<\/span><\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

We are arming YOU with the tools<\/span><\/strong> to help us put an end to fashion waste!<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

There is a <\/span>QR code on every wash care label<\/span><\/strong> on your items which takes you to a circular fashion page. From there, you\u2019ll receive a return label for sending your worn-out items back to our manufacturer to be recycled!<\/span><\/p>
