She also enlightened the participants with amazing information that Global production of clothing and its consumption has increased in the last fifty years. With time, clothing has gained more importance as people associate every occasion, mood, season and status with clothing. It has become a way of making an impression and non-verbal communication.
Textile is the second biggest polluting industry. The average life span of a garment is roughly three years, and so, textile industry generates a huge amount of waste. Five per cent of all global landfills is being taken up by dumped textile waste. It was an amazing learning experience.
