PLASTICS Projections estimate between 1.8 and 5 million tons of microplastics annually to end up in the environment. Fashion's impact about half a million. By 2050, this number is expected to increase to more than 22 million tons more plastics than f ish would then be in the ocean (by weight) Microf iber waste threatens not just the ocean but also drinking water. According to research by The Guardian, 83% of tap water samples from a dozen nations across the world were contaminated with plastic f ibers.

World’s 7th largest economy In 2017, the global TCLF industry was a 1 trillion market, which made it the 7th largest economy on the planet, with a turnover of over 200 billion. It is one of the biggest manufacturing sectors in Europe and represents 40% of all manufacturing jobs in South Asia.
THE TEXTILE, CLOTHING, LEATHER AND FOOTWEAR (TCLF) SECTOR
The fashion industry employs over 300 million people across the value chain. The sector is often a crucial source of employment and a big GDP contributor for emerging as well as developed economies. Although many individuals around the world may work within the same sector, there is a global disparity between wages, working conditions, workers’ rights and gender-specifc treatments ofered to manufacturing employees.
Over 350,000 km2 of land – roughly the size of Germany – are dedicated to cotton production alone. An estimated 93 billion m3 of water – enough for 5 million people to survive on – is used by the industry every year. Around ½ million tons of microfber or the equivalent of 3 million barrels of oil are dumped in the ocean every year.
15 million tons of used textile waste is generated each year ONLY in the United States. Only 10 - 15 % of it gets recycled.

35% of the materials are “wasted” during processing 54% of the garments are also used “the year after” Only 10- 15% of the raw materials will be recycled.

When we buy new clothes, we are not the only ones paying for their price – the environment also pays its share. UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Michelle Yeoh talks about fashion and sustainability. To hear more about her journey to discover what sustainable fashion could look like without impacting the beauty of our clothes, stay tuned on July 16 at High-Level Political Forum 2018.
PULSE OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY 2018
SOURCE: GLOBAL FASHION AGENDA and Boston Consulting Group
PULSE OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY 2018 Fashion needs a deeper, more systemic change. The industry needs to innovate and to invest jointly to target the unsolved challenges in the value chain with new solutions. Fashion companies must join forces with suppliers, investors, regulators, NGOs, academia, and consumers to create an ecosystem that supports transformational innovation and disruptive business models. This is especially important for the most diff icult steps in the value chain: raw materials and end-of-use. Companies cannot overcome these challenges alone.
