By 2050, the fashion industry is on course to produce 138 billion items of unworn clothes every year – enough to almost reach from the Earth to Mars and back, and equivalent to nearly four outfits for every person on the planet – new analysis from Oxfam reveals today.
The findings mark the start of Oxfam’s annual Second Hand September campaign fronted this year by actor and advocate Jameela Jamil. Oxfam is calling on people to make a statement about the kind of world they want to live in by choosing second hand over fast fashion.
Oxfam’s research shows that if all 1.6 billion unused items of clothes currently owned by the UK population were reused and worn, it would be enough to clothe the entire population of Manchester for approximately eighteen generations, or 450 years.
Further analysis by Oxfam highlights items of clothing are worn for less than five days on average in the UK — spending 1500 days or over 99 per cent of their lifetime in the closet.
