Environmentalists(环保人士) are getting more worried about the effects of fast fashion on the environment. Fast fashion is the production of clothes in a large number at a low cost. They are put in shops and online stores quickly to create a high demand. Manufacturers(制造商) make 100 billion all kinds of clothes every year. This is expected to grow 60 per cent by 2030.
The fast fashion business model is having a negative effect on the environment. Many of the clothes end up in dustbins and are not recycled. Another negative effect on the environment is caused by the chemicals used to make the clothes. These cause health problems to people working in clothes factories.
The way people are buying clothes is adding to the problem of clothing waste. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes on. People took more time and thought more carefully before they bought clothes. They also wore them longer. Today, people order cheap clothes on the internet and if they don't like them, they send them back. Some people say this is causing a throwaway(用完即弃的) society. Some people buy clothes and never even wear them. The German media company Deutsche Welle wrote, "Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing ends up in dustbins. Less than one per cent of this is recycled."
It seems the fashion industry is not so sustainable(可持续的).
