본문내용

The reason why unsustainable fiber production, water-intensive chemical processing, transportation of material by ship, and unethical garment construction are grouped together under the same section is because those processes are not directly overlooked or controlled by retailers, making it hard for customers to trace the full environmental and social footprint/impact of the product and easy for brands to dodge responsibility of the impact. Thus, customers should always question the cheap price of fast fashion garments because the full story cannot be delivered through the price tag.

<중 략>

Fast fashion retailers employ various strategies to sell more clothes rather than sell good clothes; they design individual fast fashion garments to be easily disposable and constantly update the inventory to encourage customers to buy more than they need, which makes fast fashion inherently unsustainable because this endless cycle of consumerism leads to more and more waste.
