LONDON – UK politicians heard from fashion industry experts at this week’s Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) at the House of Commons on the negative impacts that textile microfibres, fibre selection and fast fashion have on the environment.
This latest probe comes as the impacts of fashion are coming under even greater scrutiny by politicians in Europe – not just the UK – and after the EAC launched its enquiry in June, which examines the impacts of clothing production, use and disposal on natural resources.
