Sustainable fashion has its origins in addressing issues that arose during the Industrial Revolution such as child labor, poor working conditions, and environmental degradation. In the 1970s-1990s, concerns over the widespread use of child labor, low wages, and the harmful impacts of leather tanning and textile dyeing on both workers and the environment led to early calls for more sustainable practices in the fashion industry. Major fashion companies began recognizing the importance of sustainability in recent decades and have implemented new business strategies and supply chain practices to reduce environmental and social impacts.
