A BCG report warns that textile waste is a major threat to fashion, yet it offers leaders a chance to build resilience, unlock value and stay ahead of rule

With discarded clothing reaching 120 million metric tons globally in 2024, the report highlights a fundamental change in consumption that demands a strategic response from the C-suite.

This trend has fuelled a doubling in global fibre production since 2000, creating a complex web of economic risks and opportunities that leaders must now navigate.
