Although Urban Outfitters is generally regarded as a fast fashion brand known for its trendy and affordable pieces, the popular retail company has been making steady improvements in its sustainability initiatives.
For example, they ship all their orders in mailer bags and boxes made from recycled and recyclable materials and by 2027, the company says 60% of their total direct-sourced raw materials will be responsibly sourced.
