General Secretary Gutresh, while drawing attention to the problem gap, said that every second garment of the garbage was either burn or garbage disposal site (landfill) was dropped.
The UN general secretary warned that the clothing was being made at a high speed and was being thrown based on the model of sacrifice after the sacrifice of innovation, speed and use. “If we don’t intensify our verb, wear and wear the race can kill the earth.”
Fashion and woven clothing is being concentrated on the International Day celebrated this year.
The UN chief said that thousands of chemicals are often used in textile production, which are harmful to ordinary people and the environment.
Also, other resources, including land and water, are absorbed, which causes stress on the ecosystem and provides fuel to the greenhouse gas emissions.
Fashion industry is a major cause of pollution and the global greenhouse gas emissions contribute to about eight percent.
A big crisis
The chief of the United Nations warned that the garbage crisis in the fashion world indicates a major global problem. According to him, fashion is part of a poisonous iceberg. “Garbage is a major problem in each sector.
Every year, humanity produces two billion tonnes of waste. “The main concern of the United Nations expressed that waste filled with toxic ingredients is entering our soil, water and air and reached us, which the poor need to be the most affected.
More than a billion people live in slums and informal settlements, where garbage management does not have and diseases are spread.
“The rich world is flooded in the world worldwide, from old computer to single-used plastic.”
Many countries have no arrangements to settle this waste, which is increasing pollution and the risk of garbage selection.
Emphasize on reduced costs
Referring to this year’s theme, the UN chief said that the clothing was often discarded after wearing a few times and so they need to be reduced.
Experts believe that the duration of the clothing is doubled to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by up to 44 percent.
In this sequence, it would be important to test the recycling products by the fashion designer. “Customers are demanding durability. In many countries markets are re -celebrated.”
The UN chief called on every person to contribute to the fight against the waste and mentioned that the principles and rules that were sustainable and void should be adopted.
The general secretary cautioned that the traders should avoid the leaps of the green demanding and the waste must be reduced, one should take a scente action, so that enhance the skills of resources in the supply chain is an important solution.
