The textile and fashion industry is among the most environmentally damaging sectors worldwide. Phenomena such as fast fashion, greenwashing, and the lack of systematic adoption of standardised environmental monitoring tools deepen a crisis that is already severe.

Consumer education and supply chain transparency emerge as fundamental levers for meaningful change.
