sustainability is significant for fashion, because the textiles and fashion industry is among the leading industries that affect the environment negatively. one of the industries that jeopardizes sustainability is the textiles and fashion industry, which also bears great responsibilities. the clothing industry has an impact on the environment. globalization, consumerism, and recycling are all a part of a clothing life cycle. globalization has made it possible to produce clothing at increasingly lower prices, prices so low that many consumers consider this clothing to be disposable. disposable clothing appears popular throughout many malls in america and europe. this is a key characteristic of fast fashion. however, fast fashion adds to pollution and generates potential environmental and occupational hazards.
