The Role of Innovation in Making Fast Fashion Less Polluting

Fast fashion's breakneck pace leaves a trail of environmental destruction. This paper investigates how sustainable innovation can revolutionize the industry by fostering a Circular Fashion Economy. We analyze the potential of innovative materials, including bio-based fabrics and closed-loop recycling technologies, to lessen the environmental impact. Furthermore, sustainable processes that minimize water and energy consumption during production and dyeing are explored. The concept of a Circular Fashion Economy takes center stage, highlighting strategies like garment reuse, repair, and recycling to extend a product's lifespan. Through these advancements, the fashion industry can shed its fast fashion skin and embrace a more sustainable future.
