Although several EU countries have systems for collecting discarded textiles, not all of the collected items necessarily end up in sustainable processes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arisa\u2019s new publication, The Fast Fashion Waste Mountain<\/em>, brings together key facts and figures on what happens to our discarded clothes\u2014from when we toss them to where all that textile waste ends up. It shows the various ways our discarded textiles are collected and handled in the EU, and how \u2018our\u2019 waste travels beyond borders, impacting the environment and communities around the world.<\/p>\n

Read our new publication here<\/a> and learn more about the true costs of fast fashion and how you can be part of the solution.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
