The Toll of Excess Clothes Production

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Toll of Excess Clothes Production
Published: May 28, 2023 by VPR Producer

Despite increased media coverage on fast fashion, the industry continues to thrive and expand.

  • Maxine Bedat, founder, director, New Standard Institute.
