Highlights

Engaging urban youth in sustainable fashion is key to promoting eco-conscious choices. As trendsetters, young people influence market demands, making their involvement crucial. Schools, universities, and community programs can educate them on ethical sourcing, upcycling, and waste reduction.

Youth involvement fosters innovation in sustainable fashion and entrepreneurship. Many are exploring biodegradable fabrics, digital fashion, and local production. Cities can support them through funding, mentorship, and integrating sustainability into fashion education.

To achieve zero waste in fashion and textiles, we need systemic change, including reducing overproduction, sourcing responsibly, and embracing ethical manufacturing. Likewise, extending the life of textiles through reuse, repair, and recycling, along with improving recycling technologies and infrastructure, is crucial to minimizing waste and recovering valuable resources.
