The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) points out that in the CDMX around 3700 million tons of textile waste are discarded per year, of which only 1% is recycled. In this regard, the United Nations Organization considers that textile production is one of the most harmful to the environment.
It is estimated that 73% of the garments produced each year end up in the trash or incinerated, contributing to environmental pollution. Unfortunately, when consumption goes down, a new fashion is created to drive endless consumption. Therefore it is important to have responsible consumption and to know the origin of the garments, the manufacturing and production processes; points out David Sébastien Monachon, head of the area of Sustainable Consumption in the University Coordination for Sustainability (COUS) of the UNAM.
