Abstract

Fast fashion is a major industry that reflects the rapid production and consumption processes of modern fashion. This article analyzes the negative environmental impact of fast fashion due to its high-speed production, low prices, and large consumption volume, including waste generation, water and air pollution, and threats to biodiversity. Additionally, it discusses sustainable production and consumption practices, as well as opportunities for working with eco-friendly materials. Furthermore, solutions for promoting sustainable fashion and addressing environmental issues are proposed.
