Can Fabric Waste Become Fashion’s Resource?

COVID-19 worsened the textile waste crisis. Now, it s time for the fashion industry to address this spiraling problem, say
Geoffrey Jones and
COVID-19 has broken fashion’s supply chain. As a result, an already wasteful industry has become more wasteful.
Even before the pandemic, the global apparel industry was producing about 92 million tons of textile waste a year. That’s about one garbage truck’s worth of fabric waste getting landfilled or burned every second, according to a 2017 report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
In recent months, global apparel brands have insisted upon a new framework for the future which discards the key elements that have led to the Accordâs success in making garment factories in Bangladesh safe for workers
UNI Global Union and IndustriAll Global Union, the labour signatories of the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety, have given notice to withdraw from the RMG Sustainability Council (RSC) on 1 June.
The national RSC was set up last year to take over the technical responsibilities of the Accord, whose remit finishes at the end of the month.
While there have been discussions to renegotiate the Accord, nothing has yet been agreed or signed. Unions and industry organisations have been calling on brands to sign a global agreement that will take the work of the Accord into the future and remove any risk of a return to self-monitoring.
