Fashion meets sustainability in Bangladesh

Fast fashion has been one of the most favoured way of buying clothes in the current generation but it’s popularity has had a detrimental affect on the environment. Fast fashion are priced so low that many people consider it a throwaway item with many only wearing some pieces once or not at all. Over a billion pieces of clothing are being produced every year. Only 1% off those clothes are being made from recycled material.
The country known as the worlds’ fashion factory is Bangladesh. For ten’s of years, Bangladesh has been at the forefront of clothing manufacture due to their exceptionally low wages. With a spotlight being put on sustainability, the country will now be taking the lead on recycling.
Global Fashion Agenda, a not for profit for Sweden that targets sustainability are working with big fashion brands including H&M and Target. Together they have embarked on a journey of creating a clothing recycling system in Bangladesh which they hope will improve on many of the other recycling programs which have had limited success.
Global Fashion Agenda are hoping that their program which involves the biggest fashion players as well as the big factories that supply them together will all help make the program a recycling success in Bangladesh.
