How can sustainability improve supply chain issues?

The fashion industry's supply chain still has yet to recover from COVID-19 lockdowns. Supply chain issues are one of the biggest topics in fashion right now, along with how rising inflation costs will affect retail. Sustainability has the potential to solve some of these ongoing issues.

Sustainability could be the saving grace of supply chain issues

Currently, fashion has more unused goods than ever before. At the PI Apparel conference, an event for product development leaders in retail, Stephanie Benedetto, CEO and co-founder of Queen of Raw, said the fashion industry has over 280 billion dollars of unused fabric and unused finished goods sitting in warehouses and collecting dust that will only live to see the inside of a landfill or burned. Canceled orders, closed stores, and missed seasons and collections have thrown fashion's supply chain out of whack.
