FAST FASHION AND GLOBAL ASPECTS
What's wrong with fast fashion???
Fast fashion is the mass production of cheap poor quality, disposable clothing.to give up an idea of the scale of the problem,the fast fashion industry churns out gargantuan 80 billion garments a year that's over 10 for every person on earth.
And it's 400% more than it produced 20 years ago.
According to clothes waste charity TRAID the average garments is only worn 10 times before it is thrown away
This diabolical disposable cycle is being fuelled because
1) clothes are becoming cheaper
2)As their prices fall,so does their quality
3)while prices are dropping fashion trends are accelerating
This creates an incentive for people to buy more clothes to keep up with the trends.
Because people know that the next trends is right around the corner and their clothes will soon fall out of fashion.they tack an incentive to take care of them. This means they dispose of them faster.
What's wrong with this fast fashion system is that the majority of items are neither recycled not donate.
Instead they either go to landfills or get incinerated
Every link in the fast fashion chain comes huges environmental and societal costs.
