Fast fashion is inexpensive clothing which is produced rapidly in response to the latest trend. It is
estimated that 100 billion items of clothing are made every year. This number is expected to grow by 60

chemicals into the air. Moreover, fast fashion creates a vast amount of waste. Many of the clothes that are
produced are not worn very often, and are thrown away after a few years. Clothing and textiles currently
