That\u2019s enough to meet the drinking needs of 1,600 people in one day, going by NHS standards. A pair of jeans takes 16,000 bottles of water to produce &#8211; enough to hydrate 4,750 people for a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear from these statistics that we are drowning in fashion,\u201d says Oxfam\u2019s retail director Lorna Fallon. \u201cGiven the world is running short of freshwater due to climate change, the water-intensive cost of clothes production could be vitally reduced if we mixed up our wardrobes with second-hand purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion is a thirsty business throughout its supply chain &#8211; from growing natural fibres (cotton especially) to dyeing fabrics and washing garments. The total water footprint of clothing used in the UK annually equals eight billion cubic metres, Oxfam notes. That\u2019s enough to meet the water consumption of the entire UK population for two years. Globally, 93 billion cubic metres of water are used by the fashion industry annually &#8211; sufficient to fill 37 million Olympic-sized swimming pools. Despite this enormous water footprint, there\u2019s also a big issue with transparency. The vast majority (90 per cent) of fashion brands do not disclose any water-related risks in their documents, according to a recent report from nonprofit Planet Tracker.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/09\/03\/drowning-in-fashion-how-much-water-could-you-save-by-buying-second-hand-jeans-and-t-shirts\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-585\/\">\u2018Drowning in fashion\u2019: How much water could you save by buying second-hand jeans and T-shirts?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,900,15006,454],"class_list":["post-133490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fashion","tag-second-hand","tag-water"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133490\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
