The essay is based on the environmental issues that are associated with the fashion and
product manufacturing. Today the community has become more conscious about protection and
preserving the the environment and protect it from polluting. Environment protection consist of
the practices that are undertaken to protect the natural environment by various organisation and
government(Wu, and Li, 2019). The need for preserving arise when it is observed that due to
wastage and chemical that are emitted form the factories are deteriorating the natural
environment. The present essay covers the concept of sustainability and how fashion
manufacturing factories pollutes the water and leaves the carbon footprint when the waste and
chemicals is released in the environment causing various damages to the environment.
Fashion industry is considered as the most important part that contributes in the growth of
the economies. It has been observed that the scope of the fashion industry is increasing rapidly
and will continue to increase in the coming years. The supply chain of this industry is complex
and include designing, raw materials , spinning, dyeing etc. With the evolution various new
styles has been presented in the market but there is one consequences of fast fashion is the
increase in the number of waste that is released and dumped in the water. It leaves pollution
footprint and causes various negative impact on the environment(Enlund, and Nilsson, 2021).

caused due to the waste and chemicals that is released from the factors where the clothes are
manufactured. Environment sustainability is related to the responsibility to conserved the natural
resources and protect the ecosystem and also support the well being of the person. Various
environmental regulations and act has been enacted by the Government which specifies various
provisions related to the protection of the environment. The standards of the sustainable

country.
The worlds water resources are deeply affected by the changes in the climate , population
growth and pollution that is caused from the chemical and wastage that is released form the
factories(Thorisdottir, and Johannsdottir, 2019). It has been observed from the studies that 90%
of the fashion based industry directly contributes to the water pollution which resulted in
contaminated water that is supplied for the consumption. The product manufacturing factories
dump the waste directly into the water which results in damaging and harming the water
