Valued at USD2.4 trillion, the fashion and textile industry is the world’s second largest consumer of water, generating about 20% of the world’s wastewater, and releases half a million tonnes of synthetic microfibers into the ocean each year, not to mention the amount of waste generated by the global appetite for fast fashion. Despite most clothing being close to 100% recyclable, according to the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, the industry loses approximately US$500 billion annually due to a lack recycling efforts and a significant amount of product ending up in landfill before ever being sold. Preloved fashion concepts like HULA are upending the industry- according to the recent thredUP Annual Resale Report, fashion resale is a US$24 billion market, projected to double to US$51 billion in the next five years.
