Fast fashion is cheap clothing made to constantly meet consumer demands
Companies produce items as fast as possible while the trends are still at the height of their popularity so that consumers can buy a lot.
Since the clothing items are just made to be trendy and cheap, they do not last long. Consumers discard them after a few uses and after the fashion trend has died down.
About 80 billion pieces of clothing are purchased each year.
85% of clothing in American is sent to landfills.
Around 170 million children are engaged in child labour which is about 11% of the global population of children.
