Nowadays, the rise of the emerging trend of ‘fast fashion’ became one of the main reason of the environmental degradation and waste in the world. The essay will consider primary causes of the tendency and what possible solutions can be used to encourage more sustainable clothing habits.
However, there are several major reasons of this consumption pattern. One of them is that leading trends in the fashion tightly connected with the development of new technologies. Therefore, there are lots of clothes that is created using plastic and other products that can not be recycled and this lead to creating a new source of the pollution. It is a clear example that plastic polymers became main element in the clothes because of several advantages comparing to natural products: water durability; cheaper cost of products; scalability of the clothes’ production. In addition, the increasing number of consumers due to rise of population in the world leads to requirement to improve and scale the light industry volume in spite of this sustainability. The increasing of the industry led to increasing of the waste and environmental degradation. To sum up, the ‘fast fashion’ is the natural consequence of the science’s development and the rise of the population.
There are multiple soltuions that can be implemented to encourage more sustainable clothing habits. The goverment should restrict the temp of the increasing usage of waste elements and limit the part of them in clothes. Additionally, it is important to improve the recycling ability of the products and build more recycling factories. Moreover, to make this possible goverment should inform individuals the importancy of the environmental problems and provide the ability to give clothes to recycling.
In conclusion, despite major causes of the rise of ‘fast fashion’, possible solutions exist and should be implemented not only by goverment, but by society too.
