时装产业涵盖了从纤维生产、面料、设计、生产到服装销售的各个生产阶段。时尚行业在造成污染的行业中排名第二。这个行业对环境以及在其中工作的数百万人有着巨大的影响。在服装的生产过程中，会产生大量的废弃物。由此产生的固体废物被送往垃圾填埋场，在那里分解并产生甲烷气体。甲烷是一种强大的温室气体，它比最常见的温室气体二氧化碳更有效地捕获大气中的热量。 固体废物是造成全球变暖问题的重要因素。发达国家人口的增长和产品消费的增加已经引发了全球性的废物问题。快时尚为市场提供了负担得起的服装。时尚杂志激发了人们对新“必备品”的渴望。每个季节。 But fast fashion has its side effects in the form of pollution footprint. The rate at which the clothing waste is generated is far more than its rate of decomposition. Millions of tons of clothing waste is dumped in landfills, which may take between one to five months to fully biodegrade, with the condition that the waste comprises only of organic cotton fabrics. The waste generated is a mixture of natural as well as synthetic fibre, with 20 to 200 years of decomposition time. Each chemical treatment elongates its biodegradation time. A viable solution to this problem may be the adoption of every technique resulting in lower waste generation. Zero waste Fashion may be a step towards achievement of sustainability. A Zero waste policy must be adopted to identify inefficiencies in the use of inputs like raw materials, power and workforce. Zero waste policy supports every phase of the sustainability movement. This paper is centered on the main causes of waste generation in garment industry and the Zero waste generation techniques of garment production and other means of waste reduction which can be adopted to make the fashion industry sustainable.
