The Fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. Almost 20% of global industrial water pollution comes from the treatment and dying of textiles and is second only to agriculture as the biggest polluter of clean water globally.

_Industri fesyen adalah salah satu pencemar terbesar di dunia. Hampir 20% daripada pencemaran air perindustrian global datang daripada rawatan dan pewarnaan tekstil. Justeru penyumpang kedua selepas industri pertanian sebagai pencemar air bersih terbesar di dunia._

⚠️ Fashion’s pollution problem needs our attention ⚠️
In our zine issue 3, Fashion Environment Change, wrote, “In one season’s wardrobe clear out, each Briton throws seven items of clothing in the trash, on average… Not only do we waste precious natural resources and energy in creating the textiles, but decomposing fabrics release methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Chemicals and dyes from clothes also contaminate soils and waters. Polyester alone takes up to 200 years to biodegrade.”
“Brands must minimise waste generation at each step of the design and production process. Governments should put in place strong policies that address pre- and post-consumer
waste, and make donating and recycling textiles more convenient – if not compulsory.”
Let’s use our voices, write to our policy makers (🙋🏽♂️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏻♀️ask them about Extended Producer Responsibly 🙋🏼♂️🙋🏿♂️🙋🏼♀️) and remember that .
