Consumer perceptions are changing
The footprint of the textile industry isn’t pretty
• Total greenhouse gas emissions from textiles production, at 1.2 billion tons annually, are more than those of all international flights and maritime shipping combined.
• Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, after agriculture.
• Cotton production is responsible for 25% of worldwide insecticide use.
• The world consumes 80 billion new pieces of clothing every year. This is 400% more than two decades ago.
• If nothing changes, by 2050 the fashion industry will use up a quarter of the world’s carbon budget.
