A fashion models pose with their shopping bags, with messages concerning about water pollution created by fashion industry, in one of the discharging wastewater pipe of the dying factory in Samutsakorn province, Thailand.
Greenpeace reveals in a report entitled “Toxic Threads” that one of the 20 leading fashion brands, Zara is found to be selling highly hazardous clothing that release cancer-causing chemicals into environment.
Greenpeace demands fashion brands to commit to zero discharge of all hazardous chemicals by 2020 – as brands including H&M and M&S have already done – and require their suppliers to disclose all releases of toxic chemicals from their facilities to communities at the site of water pollution.
