Green Apparel: Intersection of Environmental law and Fashion Industry

Author(s) Harshita Bhola
Country India
Abstract The world is witnessing remarkable economic growth, but it carries significant social and environmental repercussions. This study explores the environmental impacts of the fashion industry—a key sector tied to the basic human necessities of clothing, food, and shelter.
With the environment's decline since the Industrial Revolution, this study outlines the efforts to mitigate and improve this situation. It presents a historical roadmap, starting with influential figures like Richard Carlsen and their works, highlighting the importance of the Rio Summit. The study connects this historical context with current trends, focusing on the fashion industry. Its goal is to provide an understanding of the measures being taken to prevent further environmental damage within the fashion sector.
Fast fashion is a double-edged sword, offering both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it makes clothing—a fundamental human need—more accessible and affordable to a wide range of people. On the other hand, this affordability comes at a steep cost, with significant social and environmental repercussions. This study focuses on the environmental consequences of fast fashion, investigating the extent to which it has further degraded an already vulnerable environment.
To address these challenges, the study suggests alternatives to fast fashion that are in line with the principles of sustainable development, as outlined in the World Commission on Environment and Development's report, "Our Common Future." It provides a comprehensive overview of green fashion, highlighting its advantages and potential for reducing environmental harm. Additionally, the study examines India's environmental protection efforts, particularly through the lens of the Environmental Protection Act of 1986 and guiding principles such as the precautionary principle, to evaluate how these measures can support a more sustainable approach to fashion.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) under the Companies Act, 2013, plays a crucial role in making companies socially accountable. This study explores the balance between CSR and the economic health of companies, with a particular focus on India's fashion industry.
In conclusion, the study illustrates the interconnectedness of the fashion industry with environmental economics and environmental law.
Keywords Fast fashion, green fashion, corporate social responsibility, sustainable development.
