Fast fashion has become a global wardrobe staple.
It’s an affordable way to stay on top of ever-evolving trends, but at what cost?
Many items are discarded after just a few wears, with shipping containers of textile waste flooding into India, now known as the world’s textile wasteland.
For workers tasked with recycling these cast-offs from Western countries, the consequences can be severe - both to their health and the environment.
