A nine-month cross-border investigation reveals that Europe’s used-clothing system, touted as sustainable, is fueling a hidden, carbon-intensive trade that shifts environmental costs abroad. Through exclusive trade data, a designated carbon footprint analysis, AirTag tracking, and exclusive customs documents, we expose how fast-fashion overproduction, legal loopholes, weak enforcement, and opaque logistics have turned clothing circularity into a climate liability.
Fast fashion is inherently unsustainable imho, both from an environmental and social point of view. The best we could do is to ban clothing from Shein, Temu, Aliexpress, Amazon, and all the others. Stop buying there. Now.
