The apparel industry is facing serious environmental challenges because of mass consumption. According to the data from the ministry of the environment of Japan, an average of 1,300 tons of clothing is disposed each day in the country. In response to this situation, the ministry has proposed sustainable fashion as an initiative to make the industry eco-friendlier for companies and consumers.
Eleven seminars and panel discussions are scheduled to be held during the four-day fair. Of these, the most notable are ‘The Forefront of Asian Apparel: 10 Years of Struggle and the Future of Japanese Garment Manufacturers’.
