Fast fashion- we love it. Kiwis queue up at flashy Zara and H & M stores or log in online by the thousands for a chance to grab the latest catwalk looks at a knockdown price.
In just a few years fast fashion brands, boosted by social media, have revolutionised the way clothes are made, and the way we buy and wear them.
But fast fashion has a huge hidden cost: Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of non-biodegradable polyester clothing is ending up in our landfills every year- unwanted, unseen, unrecyclable. The volume is colossal and going up every week.
