Les Français ont acheté en moyenne 43 vêtements neufs en 2025, un record – franceinfo

> Ces vêtements neufs "seront demain des déchets", alerte la directrice générale de Refashion, l'organisme à l'origine de ce chiffre, mandaté par l'Etat pour gérer les déchets textiles. Elle souligne "l'urgence" de "se doter enfin des capacités industrielles nécessaires pour gérer ces volumes".

Lobbying pour Shein : les aveux tardifs de Christophe Castaner - Observatoire des multinationales

> Après avoir dénié dans tous les médias avoir été embauché par Shein pour faire du lobbying sur la loi « fast-fashion », l’ex ministre macroniste a fini par passer aux aveux dans ses récentes déclarations à la Haute autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique. Mais il reste…

"In 1995, the textiles industry produced 7.6 kilograms of fibre per person on the planet. By 2018, this had nearly doubled to 13.8 kilograms per person — during which time the world’s population also increased, from 5.7 billion to 7.6 billion people. More than 60 million tonnes of clothing is now bought every year, a figure that is expected to rise still further, to around 100 million tonnes, by 2030.

‘Fast fashion’ is so called partly because the fashion industry now releases new lines every week, when historically this happened four times a year. Today, fashion brands produce almost twice the amount of clothing that they did in 2000, most of it made in China and other middle-income countries such as Turkey, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Worldwide, 300 million people are employed by the industry.

But incredibly, more than 50 billion garments are discarded within a year of being made, according to a report from an expert workshop convened by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, published in May. [2022]"—Nature

"Fast fashion refers to trendy clothes that are mass produced and made and sold quickly and cheaply, enabling people to buy new clothes often. In order for the clothes to be sold cheaply, the workers who make these clothes are often paid very low wages and the materials are poor quality.

In the past, the fashion industry released new designs on a seasonal basis – four times a year. Nowadays some big fashion houses release a new line every week, producing almost twice the amount of clothing today than they did in 2000. Alarmingly, many of these garments are hardly worn at all and up to 85% go into landfill each year. In Australia that is thought to be enough to fill an area the size of Sydney Harbour. So, this is obviously a big issue."—Ocean Life Education

Surproduction, toxicité et pollution : les soldes sous l’emprise de la fast-fashion

> Avec le lancement des soldes revient la tentation de surconsommer à foison. Pourtant, entre manipulation, exploitation des ouvriers, toxicité et pollutions, les raisons de s’abstenir, que vous récapitule Reporterre, sont légion.

"The fast fashion industry is responsible for over 20% of global industrial water pollution due to the toxic chemicals used in dyeing and finishing fabrics. These substances don’t just fade from clothes; they leach into our rivers and, eventually, into our bodies. Studies have linked these chemicals to cancer, infertility, and a range of developmental disorders. Simply washing fast fashion garments adds to the crisis. Every year, an estimated 500,000 tons of microfibers, equivalent to 50 billion plastic bottles, are released into our oceans from synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reports that a staggering 35% of all microplastics in the ocean come from laundering synthetic textiles. These tiny particles don’t break down. Instead, they enter the food chain, making their way into the seafood we eat and the water we drink."—James Lam

"Près de 11 millions de colis de petite taille venant de Chine inondent chaque jour le marché européen. Bien souvent les produits qu'ils contiennent, proviennent de plateformes comme Temu, Shein ou AliExpress, et ne respectent pas les normes européennes. Forfait de deux euros, plainte pour pratiques litigieuses... la Commission européenne et les associations de consommateurs cherchent à freiner ce flot de marchandises low cost."—ARTE
