Why?
Textile production contributes to climate change and plastic pollution in the oceans. Fast fashion encourages us to buy-and-bin-and-buy. 300,000 tonnes of clothing waste is thrown away in UK household black bins every year!
Garments are the second highest at-risk product for modern slavery, with low wages the norm for workers in the fashion industry in places such as Bangladesh, India and China.
