If you’re curious about making the switch to vegan fashion, or want to discover more brands too add to your animal-free wardrobe, then this guide is for you. Here’s our ultimate guide to more ethically minded, more sustainable vegan fashion sorted by clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories.

What even is vegan fashion?

Whether you’re looking into veganism for the first time or need some new cruelty-free clothes, supporting vegan fashion brands can be a great option for sourcing versatile and affordable threads.

While there is no overarching legal definition of these terms, “veganism” is typically defined as abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals.

When it comes to fashion, vegan clothing means any garment made without animal-derived materials. Some products like leather obviously come from animals, but others are a little harder to spot, such as fur, mohair, wool, cashmere, angora, feathers, silk, or animal-derived dyes and glues.

At Good On You, our mission is to help you understand how brands impact the issues you care about. In line with this ethos, we’ve created a special list of our favourite more sustainable vegan pieces divided by category—accessories, handbags, shoes, and clothing.

Scroll on to spot gorgeous vegan handbags, PETA-approved retro sneakers, and animal-free basics.

ABB receives EPD status for gearless mill drive ring motor

ABB has gained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) status for its Gearless Mill Drive (GMD) ring motor — technology used to drive large grinding mills in the mining industry.

An EPD is a standardised document that provides detailed information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. Based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study, the EPD highlights ABB’s commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility and supporting customers in making informed decisions on sustainability in their supply chains.

ABB analysed the environmental impact of a ring motor across its entire life cycle from supply chain and production to usage and end-of-life disposal. The study was conducted for a ring motor of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill with an installed power of 24 MW and was based on a reference service life of 25 years.

“Sustainability is at the core of our purpose at ABB, influencing how we operate and innovate for customers,” said Andrea Quinta, Sustainability Specialist at ABB. “By earning the Environmental Product Declaration for our ring motor, we emphasise our environmental stewardship and industry leadership for this technology. We adhered to the highest standards throughout this process, as we do in the ABB Ring Motor factory every day. This recognition highlights to the mining industry what they are bringing into their own operations when they work with ABB.”

The comprehensive LCA was conducted at ABB’s factory in Bilbao, Spain, and was externally verified and published in accordance with international standards ISO 14025 and ISO 14040/14044. It will remain valid for five years.

The ring motor, a key component of the GMD, is a drive system without any gears where the transmission of the torque between the motor and the mill is done through the magnetic field in the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor. It optimises grinding applications in the minerals and mining industries by enabling variable-speed operation, leading to energy and cost savings.

The full EPD for the ABB GMD Ring Motor can be viewed on EPD International.

Bee Hotels Can Help Native Pollinators Recover in the Wake of Climate-Fueled Wildfires: Study
