The study, lished by the Finnish scientific journal Environmental Research Letters assessed the environmental impact of five different ways of owning and disposing of clothing, including renting, resale and recycling.颁发在芬兰迷信期刊《情况研讨快报》上的┞封项研讨评价了5种拥有和处置衣服的分歧办法对情况形成的影响，包孕租赁、转售和收受接管

It found that renting clothes had the highest climate impact of all. The hidden environmental st was found to be dery and packaging sts. Renting involves a large amount of transportation, taking the clothes back and forth between the warehouse and the renter. Dry cleaning is also harmful to the environment.研讨发明，服装租赁对气象形成的影响最年夜

输送和包装进程中都邑发生隐性的情况本钱

在库房和租赁者之间往返输送服装的运输量很年夜

此外，干洗衣服对情况也无害

Gwyh Paltrow is on the Rent the Runway board and Ralph Lauren has announced a rental range.服装租赁曾被以为是替代快时髦的可继续又省钱的选择，在租衣平台Rent the Runway和凯莉·西蒙兹等大众人物的推行下走近了庶民的生涯

凯莉·西蒙兹曾穿戴租来的衣服举办婚礼和列席七国团体峰会

明星格温妮丝·帕特洛是Rent the Runway的董事之一，古装品牌拉夫劳伦也颁布发表推出租衣办事

The growing sector, which aording to GlobalData is going to be worth 2.3bn by 2029, has been touted as a possible solution to fashion’s environmental crisis. A report by the World Enomic Forum this year suggested that the industry generates 5% of global emissions.GlobalData公司的数据显示，2029年服装租赁业的市值估量会增加到23亿英镑（约合国民币206亿元）

据称服装租赁业可以化解古装家当的情况危机

但是，世界经济论坛本年的一份申报指出，服装租赁业发生的碳排放量占到了全球排放量的5%

The study found many rental brands misuse the term “circular enomy” – the system where clothes are passed from person to person before being recycled – as a form of greenwashing.研讨发明，很多服装租赁品牌都在滥用“轮回经济”一词作为漂绿手腕

实践上，衣听从一团体传给另一团体直至被收受接管才是真正的轮回经济

greenwashing: 由“绿色”（green，意味环保）和“漂白”（whitewash）分解的一个新词

用来阐明一家公司、当局或是组织以某些行动或举动宣示本身对情况庇护的支付但实践上倒是反其道而行

Ralph Lauren has said it will duce a range of clothes for rent. Photograph: Mario Anzuoni/Reuters 'Only regulation will solve that blem. No pany, in any industry, will volunteer to take a loss for the sake of the pla. They’ll do so when it’s the . The biggest obstacle is greed,” said Dana Thomas, author of Fashionopolis.《时髦都会》作者丹娜·托马斯称：“只要律例才干处理这一成绩

任何行业的任何一家公司都不会为了地球而自愿遭受丧失

只要在司法的强迫下他们才会照做

最年夜的┞废碍是贪心

”The new study suggests that if rental panies change their logistics to make them more climate friendly, renting would, environmentally, be on a level with reselling. It also found that the most sustainable way to nsume fashion is to buy fewer items and to wear them for as long as possible. “You want to be sustainable? Buy less, buy better,” Thomas said.这项新研讨指出，假设服装租赁公司把本身的物流零碎变得更环保，那么租赁对情况的影响将和转售相当

研讨还发明，古装花费最可继续的方法就是少买衣服，尽能够穿得久一些

托马斯说：“你想要可继续？那就少买，要买就买好的
