Summary from Journal Article : The global enviromental injustice of fast fashion.
Bick et al.(2018) examine of how fast fashion has impacted the global environmental injustice.
Fast fashion, which consists of affordable and easily available of-the-moment clothes,
increased demand for huge quantities for a lot of cheap clothing. As a result, environmental
and social deterioration has occurred at every stage of the supply chain.
The textile and garment sector, for example, transfers environmental and labor responsibilities
associated with mass manufacturing and disposal from high-income nations to resource-poor
communities (e.g. low-income, low-wage employees, women) in LMICs. Starting from its
production until the garment is sold, the resulting impact continues.
Although it is still difficult to ensure environmental justice at every level of the global supply
chain, innovations in textile creation, business sustainability, trade policy, and consumer habits
will be critical to global environmental justice. Each of them has an important role in
minimizing environmental injustice.
