The fashion industry employs around 75 million workers, many of whom earn very low wages and work up to 16 hours a day. The industry contributes to 20% of global wastewater and 8% of all carbon emissions. 60% of clothes are made from plastics, 83 million tonnes of the 100 billion garments produced are sent to landfill, and only 20% are collected for recycling.
