Unraveling Fast Fashion: Pollution, Exploitation, and the Case for Circular Solutions

Abstract
The fast fashion industry, characterized by mass production, low costs, and rapid turnover, has garnered significant criticism for its adverse environmental, social, and economic impacts. This research paper synthesizes data from multiple thematic studies on water contamination, microplastic pollution, supply chain opacity, labor exploitation, landfill accumulation, and consumer behavior. It presents a comprehensive overview of the systemic problems caused by fast fashion and proposes policy-level, technological, and consumer-based solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the urgency for a collective shift toward a more transparent and sustainable fashion ecosystem. Keywords - Fast Fashion, Microplastic, Landfill, Water Contamination, Sustainable Ecosystem.
