LILYSILK's 2024 Impact Report: A Legacy of Sustainability

On World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5, LILYSILK, a leading silk brand globally, has unveiled its 2024 Impact Report. This report marks the third consecutive year that the brand aligns its sustainability achievements with this significant day, reaffirming its commitment to inspiring a spectacular and sustainable way of living.

Significant Sustainability Progress

The Impact Report highlights LILYSILK's substantial strides towards eco-friendliness, adeptly showcasing the brand's commitment to responsible production and environmental conservation. One of the standout features of the report is LILYSILK's waste-free initiative, which revolves around three core principles:

1. Zero Inventory: By adopting a made-to-order model, LILYSILK produces garments within 48 hours and delivers them in 2-3 days. This approach significantly minimizes waste by ensuring only what is necessary is created.
2. Zero Waste: The company has ingeniously repurposed surplus fabric into various sustainable items, creating 7,323 patchwork pillow covers, 29,048 hair ties, and 15,410 eye masks. Additionally, over 5 tons of leftover materials were shredded and transformed into sustainable fabrics, including silk-wool blends, for future collections.
3. Zero Remnants: Partnering with TerraCycle®, LILYSILK initiated a recycling program allowing customers to return their silk products for responsible recycling. In 2024 alone, the initiative diverted over 490 pounds of material from landfills, promoting a circular economy by recycling more than 2,690 items, ensuring unused silk textiles avoid landfills and incineration.

Packaging and Partnership Improvements

LILYSILK is continually enhancing its packaging protocols. In 2024, an impressive 99% of its external packaging was biodegradable, with the goal of achieving a full 100% by 2026. Many of these materials also carry the FSC® certification, assuring customers of their sustainability.

The brand's commitment extends to its suppliers, with a rigorous evaluation process that requires global partners to hold certifications from recognized organizations like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), RWS (Responsible Wool Standard), GCS (Good Cashmere Standard), and OEKO-TEX. This ensures that the materials utilized are sourced ethically and comply with the highest environmental and social standards.

Leadership in Sustainable Fashion

David Wang, CEO of LILYSILK, expressed pride in the company's progress as it strives for a sustainable future. He stated, “Our mission to inspire people to live spectacularly resonates with our dedication to sustainability. By reducing waste, improving supply chains, and fostering partnerships that align with our values, we aim to make a positive impact on our customers and our planet.”

The LILYSILK 2024 Impact Report reinforces the company’s leading position as a sustainability trailblazer in the fashion industry, providing customers with high-quality, environmentally conscious products that empower responsible choices.
