Fast fashion has become a global wardrobe staple, providing an affordable way to keep up with trends, but its impact raises serious concerns. Many clothing items are discarded after only a few wears, leading to substantial waste. India is now referred to as the world's textile wasteland, flooded with shipping containers of textile waste. Workers recycling these cast-offs face significant health risks and environmental challenges. Influencers, consumers, second-hand clothing collectors, and textile recycling plants all contribute to and are affected by this fast fashion phenomenon.
