This case study delves into the sustainability challenges posed by the fast fashion industry in the United Kingdom, focusing on the environmental and social impacts of rapid production, consumption, and disposal of clothing. It highlights the issues within the supply chain, including carbon emissions from synthetic fiber production and water usage in cotton farming and fabric dyeing, as well as the problems associated with garment disposal through incineration and landfill. The study identifies key stakeholders—the government, fashion consumers, and fashion brands—and explores their roles in addressing sustainability. It also discusses current initiatives and campaigns aimed at influencing public perception and promoting sustainable practices, such as reusing and recycling clothes. The study concludes that while banning fast fashion is unlikely due to economic factors, raising awareness and lobbying for sustainability policies are crucial steps toward fostering a more sustainable fashion industry in the UK.
