constantly renew.
It has more advantages and one of these advantages is that. Fast fashion is an easy way to
get clothes that are on trend. Fast fashion brands and designers offer new stylish pieces of
clothing inspired by runway shows at a very low price. Fast fashion companies are
constantly producing and following trends. That’s why many people prefer to consume fast
fashion because they know that they will find new clothes every 2 weeks or every month.
ACCORDING TO INVESTOPEDIA These companies produce a limited number in each
collection, making costumers return to shops and buy new clothes. Also consumers know

Fast fashion’s impact on the planet is immense. Fast fashion negative impact includes its
use of cheap, toxic textile dyes. Polyester is one of the most popular fabrics. It contributes
to global warming and increasing levels of plastic in our oceans when washed. Also the
cotton requires enormous quantities of water. This results in drought risks. The speed at
which clothes are produced also means that more and more clothes are thrown away by
consumers creating massive textile waste. According to sustain your style 35 kg textile
waste is generated per person in one year
Animals are also impacted by fast fashion. The toxic dyes and microfibers are ingested by
land and marine life. And when animal products such as leather, fur, and even wool are

these commitments are not showing significant results.
Almost none of these companies developed a living wage methodology and calculated a
living wage for each region that it operates in. Very few of these companies pay a living
wage, and most don’t have projects to improve.
but they are also subjected to dangerous working conditions with no benefits or protection..
The combination of working long hours, underpayment and extremely unsafe conditions
are just some ways companies exploit their workers. And this exploitation is just another
one of the negative effects of fast fashion.
Living wages are essential since if a family cannot afford to live a normal life, the last thing
they will think about is saving the environment and making more environmental choices.
