This unfavourable title was awarded due to the harmful chemicals used during the cultivation of materials, the toxic waste that remains after production, the levels of water wastage and general overconsumption resulting in health hazards for textile workers and consumers.

Nowadays, while the status of fashion’s environmental impact is yet to be updated, the situation still remains bleak. According to Green Cross Switzerland and Pure Earth, pesticides, such as the ones used in the cultivation of cotton, still remain one of the world’s top six pollutants.

Furthermore, due to the demands of fast-fashion, that seeks an endless stream of disposable garments at low prices, experts predict that this worrying trend will continue.

Nonetheless, despite challenges, several labels are taking an initiative to end waste and create sustainability fashion’s latest must-have item.
