of Fast Fashion clothing will be discarded within 12 months of purchase. Less than 1% of material used to produce clothing is recycled into new clothing, meaning 99% of all textiles and fashion go to waste!
tonnes of used clothes are burned or buried in landfill each year. Even worse – loads of this incinerated clothing has never even been sold or worn. It’s retailers or manufacturers disposing of unsold stock in the most ‘cost-effective’ way possible.
By 2050, fast fashion will take up a quarter of the world’s carbon budget. When we’re none the wiser, we happily pay pennies for ‘bargains’ – and unwittingly let the costs to people and the planet mount to breaking point.
