繼法國擬禁止公司燒燬未售出的奢侈品以及普拉達計劃到2021年只使用回收尼龍，快時裝零售商Zara向《Vogue》雜誌透露，該品牌到2025年只會使用符合可持續發展的布料來生產服裝。
According to Vogue, the company announced a series of initiatives aimed at making their brand more environmentally-friendly.

正如ZDHC（有害化學物質零排放）網站上解釋的那樣，這個基金會與時裝業的成員合作，包括Puma, Primark和Target，幫助時裝品牌執行和實踐更加可持續的生產方式。
