OVERALL THINKING
The textile industry is known as the second most polluting industry globally.
The main environmental problems are: water pollution, air pollution and solid waste pollution. To worsen, as we live in a fast fashion era, full of low-value products, what we buy today does not last due to the intentional poor quality and craftsmanship.
The textile waste occupies now nearly 5% of landfill space.
Every year, around 10 kg of garments are discarded by each person (compared to 15 years ago, we buy 60% more garments).
The conscious production and buying habits are critical to make a change.
