Frequently Asked Questions

Are these numbers realistic?
Yes. Greenpeace 2024: average German buys 60 garments/year, wears each ~7 times before disposal. Earth.org 2024: 30% of bought items never worn at all. Across a 60-year buying career, that's 4,800 items, 0.5 tons of textile waste, ~30 tons of CO2 from fast-fashion alone.
Why does fast fashion produce so much CO2?
Cotton irrigation + synthetic fiber petroleum + dyeing (toxic) + transport (often shipped 3+ times before sale) + disposal. Apparel + footwear = 8-10% of global emissions (UNEP 2024), more than aviation + shipping combined. Each €30 t-shirt = ~7 kg CO2 + 2,700L water.
Where does it actually go?
85% to landfill or incineration globally. Europe ships ~15% to Africa (Kantamanto market in Ghana, the largest second-hand market, processes 40% of EU castoffs). Local communities are overwhelmed. Microfibers from washing pollute waterways for centuries. The "donate it" feeling is mostly an illusion.
How to dramatically cut?
Concrete: (1) "Wear ratio" rule — never buy if you can't wear it 30+ times. (2) Capsule wardrobe (30 items per season, mix-and-match) cuts purchases by 70%. (3) Buy second-hand first (Vinted, eBay, charity shops). (4) Repair before replacing. Combined: 80% reduction in lifetime fashion footprint.
