Fashion is the world’s third biggest manufacturing industry and it is also one of the most polluting and unethical in its treatment of low-cost labour. It’s linear model uses large amounts of non-renewable resources to produce clothes, often worn only for a short time before being discarded. WRAP, the UK sustainability thinktank, estimate £140 million worth of clothing go to landfill every year. This linear model has been supercharged through the development of ‘fast fashion’ where consumer appetite is stimulated via swift design and trend creation, huge marketing budgets and low pricing. Supply chains (people and planet) are put under extreme pressure and ethical practices are often discarded in favour of cutting corners and costs.
