The textile industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 8% of total emissions. The UN and UN-Habitat are celebrating International Day of Zero Waste, highlighting the impact of the fashion industry on the environment. To reduce pollution, the UN’s Elisa Tonda recommends five actions: building a circular fashion industry, improving fabric recycling, removing hazardous chemicals, changing the narrative that “newer is better,” and shopping less and shopping better. These changes can be achieved through infrastructure investments, policy changes, and individual actions, making the industry a force for environmental good.
