It is no news that the fashion industry is one of the largest water consumers in the world. And the numbers of that are very concerning, especially when taking into consideration the current state of our environmental crisis and the natural progression of consumerism, which can’t seem to start slowing down. The water is consumed very highly and not only for washing garments but also during manufacturing like in dyeing and finishing processes. Producing clothes requires a huge amount of water – especially to grow cotton. According to estimates, it takes about 2,720 liters of water to make just one cotton T-shirt — as much as a single person would drink over three years. Also, a typical pair of jeans can take up to 10.850 liters to manufacture, that’s about the amount that the average person would drink over five years.
So just one simple pair of jeans or a single t-shirt uses up an enormous amount of water, which is much more needed and could be of great help in less fortunate parts of the world. The fashion industry is directly impacting millions of people suffering from water shortages. Around 700 million people in 43 countries suffer today from water scarcity. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world's population could be living under water-stressed conditions.
Is there a way to improve this?
The circular economy is one of the few small ways to reduce your H2O footprint when buying clothes. If we could reduce unneeded purchases, by being more considerate and trying to buy more second-hand clothing, it would definitely help the planet, not to mention your wallet. Also, worn wear is sold in such a way that they are used for longer and can maintain their value for longer. You can do your part to lessen the fashion industry’s water consumption by simply getting involved.
