The Environmental Disaster That Is Fuelled by Used Clothes and Fast Fashion

The rapid production and consumption of cheap clothing, known as fast fashion, has created an environmental catastrophe. Each year, millions of tons of clothing are manufactured, often using energy-intensive processes and polluting chemicals. Consequently, a significant percentage of these clothes end up in landfills or are incinerated, releasing microplastics and toxic chemicals into the environment. Furthermore, the relentless demand for new clothing encourages the use of low-quality materials that deteriorate quickly, fueling overconsumption and exacerbating the waste problem. This cycle of production, consumption, and disposal is unsustainable and poses severe threats to our planet's ecosystems and overall health.
