BRIEF:

Fall in prices, quicker production rates and easier access to fashion (fast fashion), has meant that fashion is now more accessible to the common man than ever before. 
 
Taking a look at Europe, for example, studies have shown that the percentage of clothing bought by a resident of the European Union has increased by 40% in just a few decades, with the current spending average of about $782 per year per capita.
 
But at what cost? 
 
The clothing and textile industry are the second largest pollutant in the world (following oil) contributing to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 
 
Reasons which cause concern include 
 
Abuse of natural resources (land, water and an increased use of chemicals and pesticides) for the production of raw materials at a faster rate.
Manufacturing and finishing processes such as spinning, dyeing or giving the fabrics strength and shine are energy-intensive processes in which large amounts of water and chemicals are used.
Most textile raw materials and final products are imported into the EU, which means long delivery routes.
