EFFECTS

mfilangieri — 2025-10-01 09:37:08 UTC

Environmental effects

The cheap prices of fast fashion cause severe environmental consequences in Bangladesh. Textile production creates 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year and consumes a lot of water. Furthermore, in order to produce clothing quickly and inexpensively, the garment factories use toxic dyes and chemicals. These chemicals are then released into nearby rivers, polluting the water supply. The World Bank estimates that around 20% of wastewater worldwide comes from textile dyes. Chemicals released into the water supply increase disease among Bangladeshi citizens.

-Fast fashion exports account for 80% of Bangladesh’s export earnings, this means that the Bangladesh economical status mainly depends on the exports
