Fast fashion companies in China, India, and Indonesia are contaminating the environment through clothing production. Their factories pollute the air and waterways with chemicals from dyeing and manufacturing processes. Each year, about 2.88 million pieces of clothing are thrown out daily and end up in landfills or the ocean, where they can take over 200 years to decompose. During this time, clothes release greenhouse gases and chemicals that harm the environment. The growing demand for cheap, disposable fashion is exacerbating this pollution problem.

While decomposing, clothes emit greenhouse
gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and Methane gas (CH4), a substance that is is 28 times higher than CO2 in terms of emissions. This is a major global warming problem. Clothes do not biodegrade while in a landfill. An article of clothing could remain there for more than 200 years before decomposing as it is surrounded by (and sometimes made) of plastic. Materials made by petrol such as acrylic are similar to any other plastic and will not decompose. Chemicals used in clothes, such as the one used to create waterproof material and color dyes, can leach to the ground and cause environmental damage
