In short: Most discarded fashion doesn't get repurposed; it ends up in landfills. Amit Kalra explores how the industry can shift toward a more conscientious model that balances ecological responsibility with a competitive business advantage.

Kalra proposes creative industry evolutions to address this pollution. By rethinking how fashion is produced and managed, companies can move toward sustainability while simultaneously securing a competitive edge in the global market.
