Why downstream accountability now belongs at the centre of the secondary textile trade A position paper by Landfills2Landmarks The secondary textile trade receives research, media, and policy attention.

Over the past decade, the fashion sector has experienced a structural shift driven by ultra-fast fashion. This model is characterised by rapid production, high output, and very low prices.
