The fast fashion industry is under scrutiny for its environmental and social impacts. It contributes to 10% of global greenhouse gases and often involves poor labor practices. The sector's model of rapidly producing cheap clothing has led to significant waste, with 85% of garments ending up in landfills or incinerated. To address these issues, fashion brands are exploring sustainable practices such as circular fashion—promoting rental, resale, and recycling of clothes—and improving labor conditions. Government regulations and investor stewardship are also crucial for driving change in the industry.
