from Building a world without toxins - Real life stories · host HEJSupport
Textile waste is a significant environmental issue that is growing every year. Research has found that the fashion industry is responsible for around 10% of greenhouse gas emissions and is considered one of the largest industrial water polluters. Textile waste is a substantial portion of this pollution, as the fashion industry produces vast quantities of clothing and textiles that are quickly discarded. Some countries try to resolve the issue of textile waste by shipping their waste abroad, for example, to Indonesia.
