Textile Waste Statistics

The global fashion industry produces millions of tons of textile waste every year.

Key facts:

  • A large percentage of clothing ends up in landfills within a few years of purchase
  • Synthetic fabrics can take decades (or longer) to decompose
  • Overproduction continues to increase annually

Most clothing is worn fewer times than ever before.

The solution isn’t perfection — it’s participation. Shopping second-hand helps slow the cycle of overproduction and waste.
