March 2020 alone saw 66 fires in factories across the industry 🧤The 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh killed 1,134 people and injured 2,500 (mostly young women) 🧤The building was declared unsafe in the days leading up to the collapse. Fashion companies forced the suppliers to fulfil their orders anyway #upcycledclothing #repurposedfashion #naturaldyeing [DIY clothing transformation, Sustainable fashion hacks, Textile waste solutions, Extend clothes lifespan, Circular fashion at home] Data Src - Greenpeace.org, Forbes.com, BBC News
