Emisiile industriei modei au crescut cu aproape 14% în doar doi ani

Greenhouse gas emissions from the fashion industry have risen in 2023 and 2024, primarily due to increased polyester production. Emissions grew by 6.3% in 2024, reaching about 1 gigaton, comparable to Japan's total carbon footprint. The Apparel Impact Institute highlights the need for sustainable alternatives as virgin polyester remains cheaper. Despite some companies making progress in reducing emissions, others are delaying environmental commitments due to political and inflationary pressures. The industry could face a 34% profit decline by 2030 if carbon reduction measures are not implemented quickly.
