Fast fashion refers to the unsustainable practice of producing usually inexpensive garments in high volumes at a rapid pace to satisfy the latest catwalk and seasonal fashion trends. However, poor working conditions of industry workers, the vast amount of pollution and the overuse of water and other resources are only a few of the negative impacts involved in this industry.

Microplastics readily enter water sources, mainly through the washing of synthetic textiles in laundry washing machines. Urgent action is needed.
