According to Dr. Maria Flachsbarth, Parliamentary State Secretary in the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, fast fashion and overproduction lead to growing landfills and the squandering of resources, and cause damages to the climate trough greenhouse gas emissions, as she stated in her welcoming address. Between 2000 and 2015, the global textile production volume doubled. At the same time, the sector accounts for 10 % of global carbon emissions – equaling the amount that Germany, Russia, and Japan emit together. Combined with the high consumption of water, it is no surprise that the textile industry is the second largest pollutant. Mrs. Flachsbarth added that environmental damages and the squandering of resources lead to harmful working conditions in the industry, which have increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She stressed that we urgently need a circular economy in the sector and that we must use the minimum amount of resources, avoid waste and reuse fibers.
