Unsurprisingly, packaging and durable goods (such as clothing) are two of the most common types of trash thrown away by Americans.

There are several reasons for this being the case:

  • Fast fashion clothing is made from very cheap materials which result in high turnover rates

  • These turnover rates mean more clothing is being bought and shipped to customers which creates excess shipping and packaging waste

  • Even if a shopper purchases from a sustainable brand, if they have any size-related issues and need to return the garment, the garment rarely gets resold and is more often than not, discarded into landfills or incinerated

It's easy to see why the fashion industry is one of the top 5 most polluting industries in the world. Thankfully, modern innovations (like WAIR's Fit Advisor) have stepped up and taken the fight against these harmful practices.
