Fast Fashion, High Environmental Footprint: Can Fashion Be Fast Without Costing the Earth?
7th Yuva Sustainability Webinar | Yuva for Sustainability Internship programme 2026
Fashion is increasingly driven by shorter trend cycles, economical clothing and rapidly changing consumption patterns. But behind this lies a larger sustainability question involving textile waste, water consumption, emissions, resource use and complex global supply chains.
The webinar seeks to explore the environmental footprint of fast fashion, changing consumer behaviour, circularity and recycling, sustainable textiles, responsible production and how can sustainable fashion move beyond a niche market to become commercially viable at scale.
Designed as an interactive session, a moderated panel discussion with speakers from fashion brands, designing, sustainability professionals and mediapersons will be accompanied by a curated Q&A session featuring Yuva Sustainability Storytellers.
The webinar recording will be hosted on the Yuva for Sustainability YouTube and Spotify channels. An edited version featuring key speaker insights will be broadcast on All India Radio FM Rainbow.
