According to Niinimäki et al.
(2020), The fashion industry's sustainably harmful supply
chain methods have come under more scrutiny on the globe. Firstly, they business is still expanding despite the extensively reported negative effects on the environment especially because fast fashion which depends on low-cost production, frequent consumption, and disposable clothing is becoming more and more popular. Moreover, analyse the environmental implications at key stages in the textile and fashion value chain, with an emphasis on water use, chemical pollution, CO2 emissions, and textile waste. The fashion sector has a significant impact on the environment, producing about 92 million tonnes of rubbish yearly and using 79 billion litres of water. While the consumption of water, resources, chemicals, and energy in each stage of production influences the environment. They also show that the supply network for the fashion and textile industries is extensive and difficult, extending from the manufacture of chemical products and agriculture to production, shipment, and sale. Furthermore, they adoption of sustainable practices all the way through the supply chain, and a change in customer behaviour, specifically a reduction in the number of new clothes purchases and an increase in the useful life of current garments. Hence, the fast fashion is putting our environment at risk by creating for wastes, polluting the water and air that was extracted from manufactories. In conclusion, water pollution chemical and energy are very important and accurate to think about the environmental. Text Response: I totally agree with the author that fast fashion impacts the environment in various possible ways from production to consumption. The research in this article is up to date as fast fashion is a current massive threat to environment that we are living in. It is a problem which is hard to solve or reduce because people love trends, but trends can never last long. The main evident that author raised is strong because it clearly concludes the statistics of waste produced and water consumed each year. ‘Impacts from fashion industry include over 92 million tonnes of waste produced per year and 79 trillion tonnes of water consumed’. One of the main strengths is that this article clearly identifies the problem that is currently happening with statistics as evidence. One of the weakest things is the evidence does not provide the source of information and solutions to the discussed problems are not given. I believe that more than 90% of people, it is not likely of them to donate the unused clothes but dispose in the bin
The Fashion Industry Has Seen Significant Development in The Last Decade and Has Had A Dramatic Shift Towards A New Model of Industry Called Fast Fashion
