Fashion giants urged to decrease clothing production as part of their sustainability plans

The British Fashion Council (BFC) is urging big-name companies to go beyond setting headline sustainability targets to cut emissions and waste in-house, and reduce the number of garments they are producing.

Reducing the demand for new physical clothing is also important because the current volume of used clothing exported by the UK will likely not be viable in the long-term; 60% of clothing collected for reuse and recycling was exported in 2017.
