Abstract

Clothing manufacturing and the fashion industry have a negative environmental impact on the planet. Consumption of natural resources: Manufacturing clothing requires the use of large amounts of natural resources such as water, energy, and raw materials, and thus contributes to the depletion of those resources. Pollution: Many chemicals are used in the clothing industry, such as bleach, dyes, and pigments, and these materials accumulate in water, soil, and air, affecting the environment and public health. Waste: Large quantities of waste are generated from the clothing and fashion industry, and include plastic, paper, metal, and textile waste, which results in environmental pollution. Transportation: Transporting clothes and fashions to their places of sale requires the use of large means of transportation such as trucks, ships and planes, which cause air, soil and water pollution. Energy consumption: Operating clothing manufacturing factories requires the use of large amounts of energy, thus increasing greenhouse gas emissions and affecting climate change.
