Summary

Over the last few decades, the fashion industry and consumers have gravitated towards the trend of fast fashion on a global scale. It has put pressure on the textile industry to produce more clothes in a short time and to reduce prices by using lower cost materials. Brands tempt consumers by offering popular designs and fast new collections at lower prices. As a result of fast fashion, consumers not only buy clothes frequently, but they also dispose of them at the same rate. As a result, textile waste management is a growing problem worldwide.
