Traceability Is the Next Important Fashion Trend
Briefly

The fashion and textile industry faces increased scrutiny over its unsustainable practices, notably fast fashion, which significantly contributes to environmental degradation. As of 2021, millions of tons of textiles are discarded annually, with many clothes never worn. To foster a sustainable wardrobe, consumers should support ethical brands using organic materials and minimizing waste. Transparency in the supply chain is crucial; although improvements are underway, only 52% of brands disclosed their manufacturers in 2023. The conversation around sustainable fashion emphasizes that measurable goals in emissions reduction and information sharing are necessary for meaningful change.
As the industry starts to receive more scrutiny from consumers who care about sustainable fashion, traceability is becoming a new fashion trend.
Fast fashion contributes significantly to environmental degradation, with 40 million tons of textiles discarded each year, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices.
Transparency is a critical theme in sustainable fashion discussions, with only 52% of brands revealing their first-tier manufacturers in 2023.
