Is it true that fast fashion production causes major water pollution through textile dyeing and finishing?
Yes. One peer-reviewed paper states that fast fashion is among the most environmentally destructive sectors and that textile production is responsible for 20% of global clean water pollution due to dyeing and finishing processes. Other sources partially support the link between textile dyeing/finishing and water pollution but do not specifically tie it to fast fashion.
