Unsustainable Fashion
What is Unsustainable Fashion?
Unsustainable fashion refers to industry practices that prioritize fast, high-volume production at low costs, often neglecting environmental concerns and ethical labor practices. It focuses on rapid trend cycles, leading to overproduction and heavy waste.
10% of global CO2 emissions come from the fashion industry. 20% of the world's plastic waste is generated by the fashion sector. Fast fashion contributes to environmental degradation through excessive water usage, textile waste, and reliance on fossil-fuel-derived materials. (Source: Sustainable Jungle)
