Cause - explains why , Natural fibres break down in landfill because they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere., Since many clothes are thrown away instead of being recycled, more textile waste enters landfill., Landfill sites fill up more quickly due to the large amount of clothing being discarded., Because of fast fashion, more garments are produced and eventually sent to landfill., More waste is generated each year owing to the increase in clothing consumption., Synthetic clothing has a large environmental footprint because polyester is made from fossil fuels., As textile waste continues to grow, more land is needed for landfill sites., Effect - what happens as a result , As a result, greenhouse gases contribute to climate change., Consequently, landfill sites take up more space., Therefore, more natural land may need to be cleared for waste disposal., This means valuable resources are wasted., For this reason, the environmental impact of clothing continues to increase., As a consequence, soil and water can become polluted., Resulting in greater pressure on the environment., Leading to long-term waste management problems., Contributing to increased carbon emissions., Which means synthetic fabrics can remain in the environment for many years., Examples - gives an example, For example, one tonne of textiles sent to landfill can create around two tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions., For instance, only about 7% of textiles are recovered or recycled in Australia., Specifically, more than 200,000 tonnes of clothing are sent to landfill in Australia each year., One example is the large amount of polyester clothing that remains in landfill for decades., To illustrate, Australians throw away around 23 kilograms of clothing per person each year., In particular, textiles have one of the lowest recycling rates of any major waste material., A good example is the amount of reusable clothing that is discarded instead of donated., Evidence of this is the growing volume of textile waste entering landfill each year..
