As per Wikipedia, “Sustainable fashion” is a term describing products, processes, activities, and actors aiming to achieve a carbon-neutral fashion industry, built on equality, social justice, animal welfare, and ecological integrity. Sustainable fashion concerns more than addressing fashion textiles or products
Sustainable fashion advocates believe the fashion industry can pursue profit and growth while also producing new value for society and the global economy. Sustainable fashion creates thriving ecosystems and communities. The movement believes clothing firms should improve environmentally, socially, and ethically. This includes raising the value of local produce and products, prolonging the lifecycle of materials, boosting the value of timeless clothing, minimising waste, and reducing production and consumption's environmental impact. Promoting the "green consumer" can help the company obtain greater support and a wider following.
Tackling fast fashion with compostable clothing: -
Compostable clothing is made from 100% compostable materials, which usually means plastic-free clothing made from organic natural fibres, and is also free from toxic dyes, finishes, and chemicals.
Composting recycles organic matter, including food scraps and leaves, into fertiliser. Composting is an aerobic process; thus, it doesn't produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
However, it is not sufficient for the fabric to simply be produced from natural fibres to compost it. Examples of natural fibres are cotton, silk, and wool. Many different brands apply so-called forever chemicals to their garments to make them watertight, stain-resistant, and wrinkle-resistant, respectively.
