Sustainability is a major concern for the textile and apparel industries, and although awareness has increased recently, more has to be done. Numerous detrimental consequences of the textile and apparel industries exist for the environment. They include an excessive dependence on water and energy resources, the use of dangerous chemicals in the production process, and the challenge of proper disposal. Fast fashion has made the problems worse because each year millions of tonnes of clothing are thrown away. There are several barriers in the supply chain, which makes it difficult for the industry to adopt greener practices. This study was able to determine the many obstacles that the textile and apparel sector encounters when trying to apply sustainability at various phases of the supply chain management process by using secondary data analysis.
