Fast Fashion and Textile Waste in India: The Case for Regulatory Intervention
The growing availability of fast fashion in India has quickly led to an increase in the consumption of resources and waste. Due to this, the textile and apparel industry generates a significant amount of waste annually in India, most of which is currently disposed of as municipal solid waste (MSW). This industry is responsible for the third-largest waste stream in the dry fraction of MSW, after plastics. Alarmingly, only 12%–15% of this waste goes to recycling facilities.
