Abstract
The fast fashion industry, known for speedy production and cheap clothes, has major worldwide effects that bring up big worries about lasting practices. This chapter looks at the current state and ongoing progress in sustainable methods in fast fashion industry pointing out the industry's harmful effects on the environment and society. Main problems include using up resources, pollution from making fabrics, and the growing problem of textile trash made worse by consumer habits and the common use of man-made fibers. In terms of society, fast fashion industry keeps worker abuse going especially in poorer countries, with widespread human rights problems, including kids working and unfair treatment of women workers. In the middle of these issues, new sustainable ways are showing up.
