The Environmental Cost of Fast Fashion – and How You Can Help

In today’s fast-paced world, fashion trends come and go with the seasons—sometimes even faster. While it’s exciting to refresh your wardrobe often, the rise of fast fashion has come with a heavy price. Behind the bargain deals and trendy looks lies a trail of environmental damage that we can no longer afford to ignore.

Let’s take a closer look at the true cost of fast fashion—and what you can do to help.


What Is Fast Fashion?

Fast fashion is the mass production of cheap, trendy clothing designed to be worn for a short period and replaced quickly. Big retailers release new styles weekly to keep consumers buying more. But while the prices may be low, the impact on our planet is sky-high.


The Shocking Environmental Impact

1. Water Waste

It takes:

  • 2,700 litres of water to produce one cotton T-shirt
  • Enough to meet one person’s drinking needs for 2.5 years

Fast fashion's demand for cotton and synthetic materials puts enormous strain on freshwater resources.

2. Carbon Emissions

The fashion industry produces around 10% of global carbon emissions—more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.

3. Clothing Waste

The fashion industry produces around 10% of global carbon emissions—more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.

4. Chemical Pollution

Dyes, bleaches, and synthetic fabrics pollute rivers and oceans. Over 20% of global water pollution comes from textile dyeing and treatment.


How You Can Make a Difference

1. Shop Secondhand

Buy preloved clothes from platforms like HeersHanger. You'll give garments a second life, reduce demand for new production, and save money.

2. Buy Less, Choose Well

4. Take Care of What You Own
