Fast Fashion:
Particularly Resource-Intensive
Which resources are used in the production of clothing? How much clothing is discarded every year and how many lakes’ worth of water are needed to produce the clothing that is marketed around the world? How much do you know about resource consumption in the fashion industry? Fast fashion is considered to be particularly resource-intensive: the production of the material requires a lot of time and labour, while the dyeing and disposing of it consumes considerable natural resources as well as producing a lot of waste. In the process, the industry contributes to an accelerating and irreversible destruction of the environment and of human health.
