M. Tech. Fashion Design / Globalization has made it possible to produce cheap clothing at increasingly lower prices, prices so low that they tempt the consumers into buying them and not thinking twice about disposing of them. The idea of "fast fashion" leaves a pollution footprint, with each step of the clothing life cycle generating potentially environmental and occupational hazards. The primary purpose of this study was to examine consumers' understanding of sustainable clothing and to determine if their knowledge could have some positive influence on the frequency of purchase and disposal of clothing.
