The Environmental and Social Impacts of Fast Fashion

 

Fast fashion refers to the rapid production and consumption of cheaply made clothing items, driven by quick turnarounds, low prices, and frequent style changes. While it has revolutionized the clothing industry in terms of affordability and accessibility, it has also led to significant environmental and social concerns.

One of the most pressing issues associated with fast fashion is the excessive waste it generates. The fast fashion model relies on producing large quantities of garments, often using low-quality materials and cheap labor, with the expectation that they will be sold quickly and discarded soon after. This "take-make-dispose" approach has resulted in a staggering amount of clothing ending up in landfills.

The textile industry is known for its immense resource consumption and pollution. Fast fashion exacerbates these problems by promoting the constant production and disposal of clothing, which leads to high energy consumption, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the use of synthetic fibres, such as polyester, in fast fashion items further contributes to environmental degradation due to their non-biodegradable nature.
