This is followed by clothes washing to remove toxic chemicals. Washing clothes releases 500,000 tons of microfibers into the ocean each year which is the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles! Textile dyeing is the world’s second-largest polluter of water as leftover from the dyeing process is often dumped into ditches, streams, or rivers.
The fashion industry is also the second-largest consumer of water worldwide, requiring 700 gallons of water to produce one cotton shirt! This is an unacceptable figure especially when 780 million people worldwide don’t have access to an improved water source.
Additionally, the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions and that figure equals more than the emissions caused by all international flights, and maritime shipping, combined!
